Join Us on Giving Tuesday!
#GatorsGiveTuesday
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to
do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires
hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
This GivingTuesday, Dec. 3, 2024, consider a contribution to the University of Houston-Downtown—no
gift is too small to support student success at Houston’s second largest university!
Help us reach our goal of $25,000 to help provide emergency funding and scholarships
to our Gators.
The UHD General Scholarship Fund supports students throughout the university. Scholarships
ease the financial burden of pursuing a degree, allowing students to focus on their
studies and participate in academic clubs and other campus activities. They also gain
confidence from our investment in them which helps them persist, succeed and emerge
as successful graduates. The Gator Emergency Fund helps students who experience loss of income due to natural
disasters and other unanticipated events. This short-term relief assists students
who need additional help and keeps unexpected circumstances from forcing them to drop
out of school. The Gator Food Market offers every current student up to forty pounds of food per
week. By reducing food insecurity, the Market helps keep our students focused on
their academic progress. Maximize your impact this Giving Tuesday with our comprehensive toolkit! Designed
to help you share the spirit of giving, this resource includes ready-to-use materials,
inspiring messages, and tips to amplify your outreach. Whether you're raising funds,
spreading awareness, or encouraging others to join the movement, these tools will
ensure your efforts make a difference. Donating to UHD is more than a gift—it’s an investment in people and possibilities.
Your contribution directly impacts students by providing scholarships, academic resources,
and opportunities to pursue their goals, often despite financial challenges. It also
empowers our dedicated faculty with the tools and support they need to deliver exceptional
education, fostering innovation and academic excellence. For staff, donations enhance
professional development opportunities and create a thriving campus environment that
supports everyone’s success.Giving Opportunities
