Miner Bedrock - Faculty and Staff Giving
Every gift to The University of Texas at El Paso — no matter how large or small — is important and has the power to transform lives.
As faculty or staff at UTEP, you are the foundation — the bedrock — for student success. You have a unique perspective into the lives of our students and understand both how and where gifts to the University can offer the greatest impact.
WHY SHOULD I GIVE AS FACULTY OR STAFF?
As faculty and/or staff at UTEP you are deeply and directly engaged in the lives of our students. When you enhance the work you do with a gift to UTEP, you get a front-row seat to watch your investment grow while playing an even larger role in the life of the University.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?
You should give any amount you feel comfortable giving. Philanthropy is a personal choice that you should make based on your priorities and objectives.

MAY I DESIGNATE A GIFT TO A PARTICULAR PROGRAM?
Yes. While scholarships are always a priority, you may designate your gift to any program, department, school or college on campus. Every gift, including yours, is important to UTEP and makes an excellent higher education possible for the students we serve.
WHAT IF MY SPOUSE/PARTNER WORKS FOR A MATCHING GIFT COMPANY?
If your spouse/partner works for a matching gift company, your gift may be doubled or even tripled. Visit utep.edu/giving/matching-gifts to discover if your spouse/partner’s company is listed, or call our office to learn more.
