The rapid changes in our students’ academic experiences have forced the university to adjust in ways we could have never anticipated. Now, more than ever, we value the importance of standing UNiTed and supporting those in need. We sincerely thank you for your desire to give back to our students and the university.

 
 

We have identified three ways that will best serve the Ryan College of Business during this time of need. You can support these efforts by making a gift to:

The Dean's Circle of Excellence LogoThe Dean’s Circle of Excellence represents an elite group of individuals committed to the continued success of the UNT G. Brint Ryan College of Business and its students.

Members of the Dean’s Circle are integral to our everyday achievements—helping to close funding gaps and provide the necessary support for program growth and institutional excellence. As a member, your gifts will fund the college’s top priorities—enabling us to attain our strategic goals and fulfill our mission as one of the largest business schools in the nation.

To join this circle of change-makers, we request that you pledge an annual commitment of at least $1,000 to the Dean’s Excellence Fund. Your investment in our students is an investment in the future of business.

We look forward to having you in our circle.

The Jim & Linda McNatt Emergency Fund

From immediate technology needs, to help with medical expenses, scholarship assistance, and other unanticipated challenges, your gift will provide immediate relief to our students with critical needs.
The Dean’s Excellence Fund
The Dean’s Excellence Fund also provides immediate, essential support to our students. This fund serves as a vital resource to help our students and campus respond to opportunities and challenges as they occur. When you support the Dean’s Excellence Fund, you support the strategic vision of the college by allowing the Dean to have flexibility in directing the use of resources to the priorities of the college during this difficult time.

LEARN HOW YOU CAN VOLUNTEERWe highly value your insight and business acumen in teaching our students how to become the leaders of tomorrow through hands-on experiences. By offering students different experiences, industry insights, networking receptions, and real-world opportunities to promote business leadership, you can make a tangible difference.

Other Ways to Give

Annual Giving

When you give to the college annually, you make a difference in the lives of students, faculty, and staff who study, teach, and work to strengthen the college. These collective acts of generosity help ensure that a UNT education remains affordable and within reach for our deserving students.

Matching Gifts

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contribution made by their employees. To make your gift go even further, find out if your company has a matching gift policy by searching for your employer's name at the following webpage:

MATCHING GIFTS

If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will take care of the rest.

Estate/Planned Gifts

Donors who choose to establish planned gifts to benefit the college help secure the future of UNT.

Working with our planned-giving experts, you can choose to give an outright gift or defer your giving through a bequest. You can even take advantage of a charitable gift annuity or other life-income gift that enables you to establish a legacy now and still provides you with an income during your lifetime.
