Advancement Services
What We Do
- Manage, research, and analyze the data needed to inform University Advancement strategy
- Play a critical role in the operations necessary for engaging and stewarding donors
- Provide data and reports used to measure the success of our development program
Gift Processing
Gift Processing records and receipts all gifts to the University, including pledges, gifts of cash and securities, gifts-in-kind, and planned gifts. UTA departments can submit a gift for processing by completing a Gift Record form and sending it to Gift Processing with all gift-related documentation. Gifts-in-kind also require a completed Deed of Gift form signed by the donor.
Advancement Technology
Advancement Technology creates online giving forms, manages alumni and donor data, and provides the information and reports needed to measure our success and communicate with the UTA community. UTA departments can request data lists or online giving forms using the links below.
Endowment Services
Endowment Services is the primary campus resource for all matters involving endowment creation, distribution payouts, recordkeeping, and compliance. We assist units in administering their endowments and serve as UTA’s liaison with UT System Administration and the University of Texas/Texas A&M Investment Management Company (UTIMCO).
Prospect Management and Research
The Prospect Management and Research team supports University Advancement’s relationship-building efforts with alumni and donors by leveraging data to guide strategy and measure success. The team manages, tracks, and reports on prospect activity and makes recommendations to positively influence fundraising activity.
