Alumni and friends of Texas State University play a vital role in serving and shaping the university by offering their time and leadership to the Texas State Development Foundation.
The Texas State University Development Foundation supports and furthers the mission of Texas State University through the acceptance and investment of gifts established as endowments benefiting the students, faculty and staff. The Foundation serves as the primary philanthropic partner of Texas State, working to secure, manage, and grow private support that advances the university’s mission and long-term success.
Guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, the Foundation also provides fiduciary oversight to ensure responsible governance and alignment with the university’s goals. In essence, the Foundation transforms private generosity into lasting opportunities: fueling student success, academic excellence, and the continued growth of TXST.
Every gift to Texas State University is an investment in the promise of our students and the impact they will make in the world. Our donors are essential partners in advancing the mission of Texas State and creating meaningful opportunities for the Bobcat community.
