UTHealth Gives: A Community of Caring

The decision to postpone UTHealth Giving Day came after careful consideration as part of our university’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Giving Day is an online event, we are mindful of the challenging situation our communities, nation, and world are facing. We want our friends, families, and community members to focus on their own health and safety during this time.

UTHealth Giving Day is an annual single-day online fundraising event held on April 7, 2020, for UTHealth. In this event, alumni, faculty, staff, family, and friends of the institution come together to support the clinicians, researchers, and students of UTHealth by making gifts to the schools, programs, and initiatives that mean the most to them. 

UTHealth donors positively impact the lives of individuals in our community and beyond with gifts that support scholarship, research, and patient care. Gifts of all sizes have great collective impact in pursuing our shared goals that have long defined the institution and continue to drive us today. 

Anyone can participate! You don’t have to be affiliated with UTHealth to be part of UTHealth Giving Day.

Whether you are a community member, student, faculty, staff, patient, or one of our alumni—or if you just have a passion for improving health care—we invite you to join us in making a difference.

All online gifts or pledges made on April 7, 2020, will count toward UTHealth Giving Day 2020. In addition, all mailed gifts designated for UTHealth Giving Day and postmarked by April 7, 2020, will be counted.
