This will be the ninth annual Big Orange Give, the university’s day of giving, with a goal of reaching 8,000 gifts to UT.

All Volunteers are encouraged to make a gift of $10 or more to the area of campus most meaningful to them. The funds raised will positively impact the lives of UT students and help unite the university for generations to come.

You can help not only by making a gift, but also by spreading the word to your friends and family in person and via social media and email.

Several matching gifts are available on this day only, meaning that you can double the impact of your contribution. For instance, the Alumni Board of Directors has pledged $25,000 which will match gifts one-to-one until the pledge is exhausted. Your $10 gift could become $20; your $100 gift could become $200. You can choose the area of UT most meaningful to you and contribute to it.
