The University of Texas at Austin Athletics
As the nation's best performing athletics department, we have built our legacy on high performance in athletics and academics. That is Longhorn Excellence. Through the support of Longhorn Nation, the team behind the team, we can best position ourselves for sustained excellence now and into the future. When you make a gift to our unrestricted Annual Fund, you are committing to Longhorn Excellence.
Longhorn Excellence is a designated fund within the Longhorn Foundation Annual Fund. This fund is dedicated to creating the competitive edge for Texas student-athletes in academics, athletics and life. Gifts to Longhorn Excellence raise the bar for Texas Athletics by supporting education, nutrition, recruiting, travel, sports medicine, facilities maintenance and student-athlete development.
Since the inception of the Longhorn Foundation in 1986, annual contributions have fueled the educational and competitive pursuits of Longhorn student-athletes. Today, through the generosity of Longhorn Foundation members, Texas Athletics sustains its own operations. Philanthropic contributions to our annual fund afford us the flexibility to allocate resources where they are most needed. Growing Longhorn Foundation annual support and participation to 25,000 members and $50 million in cash gifts per year are critical and necessary to best position Texas Athletics for success today and futuristically in the SEC.
