Annual Fund

Who Gives and Why

The University of Dallas' Annual Fund has been established to encourage and to recognize the loyalty and support of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, friends, foundations and corporations. Annual Fund gifts are primarily unrestricted which means that the donor allows the University to determine how the money is used. These gifts also relieve the burden on tuition and assist with UD's daily needs.The Annual Fund also stresses the importance of participation in giving. The stronger the University of Dallas' Annual Fund, the better equipped the University is to provide an excellent educational environment for students and to address its most urgent needs, such as student scholarships, computer upgrades, building renovations, and faculty support.

Matching Gifts

Matching gifts are company-donated contributions that match those made by employees and their spouses. Many companies sponsor a matching gift program to encourage employees to support their charitable organizations. This program enables many donors to increase the impact of their contributions to the University of Dallas. Most companies match dollar for dollar, and some will double or triple match employee gifts. Simply request a matching gift form from your Human Resources Department, and send it, completed and signed.

Planned Giving

Planned Gifts may be designated to the Annual Fund. Careful planning will allow you to make a larger charitable gift than you thought possible and leave a charitable legacy for future generations.

In honor of these important milestones, the University of Dallas' Annual Fund has established the Reunion Giving Program.Through Reunion Giving, alumni can be both a part of the Annual Fund and can join in a special year-long effort focused on increased participation. Show your class spirit by making an extra effort to participate and to give in honor of your reunion!
