ASPIRE: The $100 MILLION CHALLENGE
CREATING A NEW ERA IN 21ST CENTURY EDUCATION
If there was ever a time to play a role in the University of Houston’s upward trajectory in research and scholarship, NOW IS THE TIME!
In 2019, the University of Houston launched a transformational initiative to propel its academic enterprise to unprecedented levels of distinction. Founded by an anonymous donor, the Aspire Fund matches contributions to the University’s bold intellectual pursuits. These gifts will enable the University to recruit and retain the highest-quality faculty, fueling our learning in areas of world-wide impact.
This gift empowers UH students to thrive globally, strengthening Houston through transformative work in classrooms, institutes and labs.”

How The Challenge Works
The anonymous donor will match all eligible gifts up to $50 million (for a total of $100 million) that create permanently endowed chairs and professorships in fields that address societal challenges. For every $2 million given to endow a new chair, or for every $1 million given to endow a new professorship, that gift will be doubled by a match from the Aspire Fund.
