The mission of the University of Texas Foundation is to advance education by providing financial support to The University of Texas System, including its branches, departments, schools, and colleges across the fourteen institutions, to enhance research, teaching, scholarship, faculties, and facilities, ensuring excellence in education.
The University of Texas Foundation Inc. directs large-scale institutional support across the University of Texas System, with recent gifts reaching the flagship campus in Austin and the system’s medical and academic units in Houston and San Antonio. Its giving is built around educational and research support rather than individual grants, and the record shows repeated awards to major UT institutions year after year. The largest recent grant in the file is $24,314,961 to University of Texas Austin for educational/research, followed by a $23,702,805 award in the prior year and a $20,390,027 grant in 2023 to the same campus. Another major recipient is Utmd Anderson, which received $17,145,132 in 2025 and $15,960,075 in 2023 for educational/research. The pattern points to a funder focused on strengthening the University of Texas system’s teaching, scholarship, faculty, and facilities through substantial institutional grants.
Higher education is the clearest throughline. The foundation gave $5,028,316 to University of Texas San Antonio in 2025 for educational/research, and $3,183,878 to University of Texas Dallas in 2025 for the same purpose. Health-related academic support is another visible strand: University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio received $4,260,802 in 2024 and $3,697,756 in 2025, both for educational/research. At University of Texas El Paso, the foundation made a $2,237,484 grant in 2025 for educational/research and scholarships, showing that student support is part of the mix. Faculty and program support also appear through institutional awards to University of Texas Arlington and University of Texas Southwestern, both listed with educational/research or educational/research and scholarships purposes.
Grant sizes are wide-ranging, from a 25th percentile of $99,482 to a median of $959,403 and a 75th percentile of $3,183,878. The recent record shows repeated support to the same University of Texas institutions across 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating recurring institutional funding rather than one-off awards. The foundation makes program/project grants to educational institutions and does not fund individuals. Its giving is local and entirely within Texas, with every listed recipient in the HQ state and the top grant-count state also Texas.
