Fundraising
Top Fundraising Priorities
- Research and collaborative program support
- College-to-Career success initiatives
- Facilities upgrades
UT is a public institution, but only 12% of UT's budget is provided for by state funding. Philanthropic aid is vital to sustaining our community. It provides scholarships so that students can achieve their academic and professional goals, programming support to keep the college at the forefront of arts education and resources to recruit and retain the finest artists and field leaders to our world-class faculty. We need your help to nurture the creativity and exploration that impacts our culture, our society and our nation's growth.
Together, we can inspire creative lives to change the world.
Endowments
Endowments are incredibly important to sustaining the college's quality of excellence now and into the future.
Endowments allow donors to provide everlasting support to the area they are most passionate about in the College of Fine Arts. Endowments may be created through a single gift or by payments over a five-year period. These funds are then placed in long-term accounts, where the principal remains intact. The earned interest provides funding for the designated students, faculty or program.
One gift can support generations of fine arts education.

Volunteer
Texas Performing Arts volunteer ushers play a key role in our goal of providing the very best service to our guests. Volunteers should be interested in the performing arts, have superior customer service skills, and be willing and able to work as part of a great team of other volunteers and staff members.
Landmarks Docents lead the campus community and visitors on tours of the public art collection. The Landmarks Preservation Guild maintains the works of art in the collection and keeps the university’s campus a beautiful and engaging place.
