The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and the UH<\/abbr> Foundation are encouraging alumni, donors and the entire community to make an early gift ahead of UH<\/abbr> Giving Day 2025<\/a> on April 9. This giving event aims to raise critical funds to support students, research and programs across all 10 UH<\/abbr> campuses.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s inaugural UH<\/abbr> Giving Day was a resounding success, generating 1,808 gifts totaling $593,000 to benefit UH<\/abbr> programs statewide. This year, as universities across the nation face unprecedented funding challenges, early contributions will help UH<\/abbr> to continue to provide exceptional opportunities for students and maintain its commitment to innovative research and community service.<\/p>\n

Donors can choose to support a wide range of programs, including the newly launched Graduate Student Success Fund<\/a>, which helps UH<\/abbr>\u2019s graduate students excel and contribute to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n

Your gift, big or small, makes a difference<\/h2>\n

“As we prepare to celebrate Giving Day, we are reminded of the power of community and the transformative impact that collective generosity can have on the lives of our students and the future of our university,” said UH<\/abbr> President Wendy Hensel. “While the current challenges have created additional pressure for our students, faculty and staff, they also offer a chance for us to come together and support those who will help shape the future of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and beyond.”<\/p>\n
