If you would like to make a lasting impact on UT and future generations of Longhorns, a gift made in your estate plan could be the perfect option for you. This type of charitable gift arrangement allows you to make a gift now or after your lifetime while enjoying financial benefits for yourself and your loved ones.

A growing number of alumni and friends support The University of Texas at Austin through financial or estate planning. This process is known as "gift planning" and the gifts are referred to as “planned gifts,” all of which help UT’s colleges, schools, and units achieve their priorities.
