Texas philanthropy is defined by commitment, generosity, and a deep sense of responsibility to community.
Hosted by the faculty and students in Texas’ 1st – and only – BA in Philanthropy degree, the UTA Philanthropy Conference brings together nonprofit professionals, funders, scholars, and changemakers from across the state for a one-day gathering focused on the values and practices that shape philanthropy in Texas—and beyond.
At Leading with Heart: The Lone Star Way, participants will engage with thoughtful ideas, research-informed insights, and practical perspectives designed to strengthen organizations and expand impact.
Throughout the day, we’ll highlight the people and practices that sustain communities across Texas.
