Our Donors

Individuals

It is sometimes unbelievable how the compassion and generosity of a single person can literally affect hundreds, if not thousands of individuals. And yet it happens daily at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Endowed scholarships help students pay for tuition that they may not have been able to afford on their own, volunteers mentor students and give them the encouragement they need, and faculty make groundbreaking research discoveries with the help of endowed professorships. We appreciate the individuals who so humbly and graciously make contributions that transform the lives of students. These gifts come in many forms and support learning in a variety of ways.

Corporations & Foundations

The Office for Advancement develops and strengthens partnerships with corporations and private foundations. We assist them in fulfilling their own missions while advancing the educational, social, research and outreach objectives of the university.

For university faculty and staff, we can help develop program concepts, identify potential partners, provide proposal writing and related research, and develop strategies for building relationships and working with corporations and foundations.

Employees (Bridge Builders)

Bridge Builders are current and retired faculty and staff who have made financial and in-kind gifts to the university. The term Bridge Builder was taken from a favorite poem of Professor Mayo’s and embodies what generous faculty and staff do for our students when they make a contribution: they help build bridges between students and education. One of the ways employees give is through payroll deduction to the Annual Fund in an area of their choice. Contact Alicia Wittkopf, Coordinator of Annual Giving, 903-468-8181.
