LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR We are pleased to share with you the <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> for the Texas Woman’s University Foundation and University Advancement. Thank you for entrusting us with your philanthropic support, and we hope that you enjoy seeing the impact of your generous gifts! The TWU Foundation has advanced the mission of the university for nearly 70 years serving as a non-profit organization and existing for the sole benefit of Texas Woman’s. We are grateful for the financial support we receive from alumni, friends, faculty, staff, students and other supporters. Thanks to your contributions, the university has achieved record enrollment, expanded research funding, developed new programs and offered more scholarships than ever. This fiscal year we raised over $8.6 million and provided more than $2.8 million in distributions to the university to fund scholarships, programs, academic positions, equipment and capital expansion. And, for the first time in our history, the Foundation’s net assets exceed $100 million! Thank you for a year of momentous success! Our staff members in University Advancement, Alumni Engagement, Donor Relations and Stewardship and our Foundation Board worked together as a team to overcome obstacles from the pandemic and to emerge as a stronger, more effective organization. We are looking forward to FY22 and hope to see you in person soon. With gratitude, Kimberly A. Russell, Ed.D. Executive Director, TWU Foundation Vice President, University Advancement 2
