What does the Office of Institutional Development do?

Our job is to develop support for Texas Woman’s University, its people and its programs. Because Texas Woman’s University is a state assisted (rather than a state supported) institution, the primary way in which we accomplish this mission is by garnering non-government financial support from a variety of areas.

Gift support from alumni, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations, friends and supporters of Texas Woman’s University provide critically needed funding to literally every area of the institution. The trained staff at the Office of Institutional Development not only solicits these charitable donations, but also performs the gift receipting for income tax purposes and stewardship duties for donor needs.

Does Your Gift Make a Difference?

YES! Every gift—no matter what the size—makes a difference! The gifts from thousands of alumni and friends quickly add up. The percentage of donors who give is also important.
