Tarleton State University’s annual Giving Week, held March 30- April 3, raised more than $1.04 million, marking an 82% increase from last year and the most successful campaign in the event’s history.
Giving Week brought together alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends of the university to invest in the institution’s future.
Now in its third year, the campaign builds on the tradition of Tarleton State’s Giving Day, which began in 2016.
Through a series of giving challenges and matching opportunities, donors were able to maximize their impact while supporting scholarships, academic colleges, student organizations and priority initiatives across Tarleton State.
“Giving Week continues to grow because our supporters believe in the future of Tarleton State and the success of our students,” said Tony Vidmar, vice president for Institutional Advancement.
“We are deeply grateful to every donor whose generosity made this year’s campaign a success.”
Funds raised during the campaign will support a wide range of priorities, including student scholarships, college and department initiatives, experiential learning opportunities and essential campus resources.
Many gifts were directed to targeted programs, allowing donors to align their contributions with areas they are most passionate about.
“These gifts provide critical resources that directly support our students, from scholarships to hands-on learning opportunities,” Vidmar said.
“The impact is felt across every college and program, strengthening the educational experience and helping our students succeed.”
This year’s campaign featured two giving challenges and eight matching opportunities, encouraging participation and amplifying the impact of each donation.
Contributions came from across Texas and beyond, highlighting the broad reach and engagement of Tarleton State supporters.
