About the entry
With traditional revenue sources flat or declining, philanthropy has become an essential and growing resource for UT institutions. Campuses must rely more on philanthropic support to fund institutional priorities and operations, putting more pressure on development offices that often have limited resources. What can a university system do to help its institutions increase their philanthropic capacity? At The University of Texas System, more than you might think.
