Investing in Our Mission, Inspiring Our Future
Recent faculty, staff, student, and parent gifts reveal how giving begins at home

Over the past five years, the Trinity University community—faculty, staff, parents, and students alike—has united in meaningful ways to demonstrate an unwavering commitment toward the programs and experiences that define our institution. This generosity has created opportunities, fueled innovation, and strengthened the University in ways that extend far beyond the classroom walls.

A shining example of this dedication comes from Trinity’s faculty and staff, whose support has continued to grow, year-over-year. In 2023, they donated a collective $124,300, and this year, that number sits at an astounding $294,205—or a 136% increase in support.

Since 2018, the collective support from faculty and staff has made a tangible impact across campus, enhancing academic programs, athletics, student life, financial aid, and essential campus resources in the following ways:

  • Academic Divisions - $203,186
  • Athletics - $158,531
  • Other Restricted Purposes - $255,609
  • Property, Buildings, and Equipment - $66,150
  • Student Affairs/Life - $4,955
  • Student Financial Aid - $308,892
  • Unrestricted - $118,518

This spirit of generosity has also taken root among current students.

In February of 2021, student giving stood at $5,532 for the year, but today’s numbers tell a different story. Increasing by more than 236%, students have given back $18,603 this fiscal year to the place they call home, proving that Tigers understand the power of philanthropy—even before they graduate.

Parents, too, continue to play a critical role in Trinity’s success. With contributions reaching $613,199 from June 2024 to February 2025—a nearly 43% increase from three years prior—their steadfast support affirms their belief in the value of a Trinity education and the transformative experiences its faculty provide.

Every donor, every dollar, and every act of generosity makes a difference. Together, we are shaping the future of Trinity.
