Welcome

Welcome to the Office of Gift and Estate Planning, your resource for charitable estate planning at The University of Texas at Austin.

Many of our alumni and friends have questions about what we do. Perhaps you do, too. What does "gift planning" mean? What can we do to help you secure your family’s future and still give to your favorite charities? How can you create an estate plan that maximizes benefits to you, your family, and the University?

We have the tools and expertise to help you examine these questions and find solutions. Explore this site further to find information about Estate Planning Essentials, free eBrochures, and more.

Professional advisors, please visit For Professional Advisors for information that can help you work with clients who are interested in giving to the University.

We will be pleased to meet or talk with you at any time to answer your questions or discuss various gift planning options. Call us toll-free at 866-4UTEXAS (866-488-3927) or email us at giving@www.utexas.edu. Click here to learn more about our team members.
