Join Us on Giving Tuesday!

#GatorsGiveTuesday

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

This GivingTuesday, Dec. 3, 2024, consider a contribution to the University of Houston-Downtown—no gift is too small to support student success at Houston’s second largest university! Help us reach our goal of $25,000 to help provide emergency funding and scholarships to our Gators.
