Our Crowdfunding Groups
WHAT IS THE CLASS GIFT?
Each year, graduating Longhorns at The University of Texas at Austin make an impact by giving to the “Class Gift” to support future Longhorns. Students can choose to give back to one of the highlighted funds — or any of the people, places, and pursuits that have supported them while at UT.
As an added bonus, your donation to the Class Gift from March 1 – May 11 will be DOUBLED up to $30,000 thanks to the Office of the President!
WHAT CAN I SUPPORT?
This year, The University of Texas at Austin Student Foundation and the 2024 Class Gift Committee have chosen to highlight the Student Emergency Fund.
The Student Emergency Fund provides a helping hand during times of emergency, like an apartment fire, flood or family crisis, and relies entirely on donations from individuals like you.
By giving to this fund, the Class of 2024 can help a classmate cover the costs of an emergency when they need it most, so they can concentrate on their schoolwork and well-being.

WHAT’S THAT ABOUT A TOWER PIN?

Also, students who sign up to be ambassadors and receive five or more donations through their unique ambassador link will receive a gold philanthropic graduation cord to recognize their dedication to Texas ‘24!
