Longhorn Family Partners
A Texas Family Tradition
Longhorn Family Partners is a group that engages some of The University of Texas at Austin’s leading parent and family donors. Launched by the Office of the President in 2023, this signature University-wide program recognizes parents and family members of current UT students who have given back through high-impact philanthropy.
As a member, you’ll have the opportunity to share a family perspective with University leaders, advise our team on family engagement and fundraising strategies, and, most importantly, connect with other supportive families on campus.
Contact a member of UT’s Family Giving Team at utdevelopment@austin.utexas.edu to learn more about becoming a member of Longhorn Family Partners.

“The breadth of what UT offers is incredibly vast, so it is only fitting as recipients of those gifts that we are strong philanthropic supporters in return.”

“We are both UT alumni, and our children have continued the tradition. We are so grateful for not only the education we gained here, but also the lifelong friendships. We feel we owe a great debt to UT for helping to put us on a path to success.”
