SUPPORTIVE, SUPPORTING
Support Trinity’s mission through parent giving and engagement programs by increasing family involvement and philanthropic support.
Parents and Families: Committed to You
Trinity University Parent and Family Programs partners with families to promote and cultivate student learning, development, and success. Our Engagement Programs encourage active involvement in the University’s mission to provide an excellent liberal arts and sciences education for our students.
Parent and Family Giving Programs
With Trinity’s mission and set of values that place the student experience at its core, Parent and Family Giving Programs provide a pathway to family involvement and philanthropic support.
Every gift, at every level, becomes part of the support system for Trinity scholars.
Every dollar raised is used to support Trinity's tradition of excellence through investment in our students and their unique Trinity experiences—from research with professors to conference travel to service learning projects to studying abroad and everything in between.
Parents Associates
Parent Associates are leadership donors who give $1,000 or more annually to support scholarships, academics, athletics, and other Trinity priorities. Their generosity enriches the student experience while fostering deeper connections with the University.
Class Partners
For a four-year commitment of $5,000 per year, you will make a Trinity education possible to our students with the greatest financial need. Donors receive impact updates and are included in the Silver Associates recognition level.
The Trinity Commitment
An investment today benefits generations to come: When you give or pledge a gift of $50,000 or more, or add to an existing endowed scholarship, Trinity will match it dollar-for-dollar to create one or more new, named endowed scholarships.
Parent Volunteer Programs
Make a difference in the lives of current students and alumni through active and exciting engagement with the University. Trinity parents are extremely generous with their time. Some get involved in their local area through the admissions office and others help with Trinity gatherings in their home or workplace.
Parent Council
As a member of Trinity's Parent Council, you make a difference in the education your student receives, while building a strong community among Trinity families.
Engage
Through this partnership, Parent Council members engage in conversation and learning opportunities with campus leadership and decision-makers.
Volunteer
Volunteering on the Council is a meaningful way to remain engaged with the University, providing your insight from a parent perspective, helping to promote professional networking and internships for our students, and providing support through annual gifts. These opportunities include representing Trinity University at a college fair in your local community, assisting with or hosting events in your home, sending thank you notes to donors, helping to create family programming, and much more.
The Family Giving Pathway
A Family's Path to Impac
Trinity parents and families support the University in ways that are meaningful for their student and their students’ peers. Families have found that an organized approach to philanthropy helps maximize impact.
This pathway illustrates a thoughtful way to structure your giving in support of Trinity University students:
-
Your philanthropic engagement with Trinity Tigers by making your first leadership level gift to the Trinity Fund, Tiger Athletics, or another area of your choice.
-
Your impact by increasing your gifts in subsequent years.
-
About groups and special projects that align with your student’s interests and create a pathway for success for Tigers through your philanthropy.
-
With a capstone gift in support of your student’s passion.
-
Continuing your annual donations or making a planned gift for future Tigers.
