Giving Opportunities

The Nantz Leadership Society (NLS) is a new philanthropic giving society that will directly impact the experience of Houston student-athletes for generations to come.

NLS recognizes individuals who make commitments of $25,000 or more payable over five years. These commitments are above and beyond Cougar Pride per-seat donations and Cougar Pride Annual Fund donations. Each member will remain in NLS for the duration of their pledge.

AD Excellence Fund

The AD Excellence Fund will raise the bar for Houston Athletics by addressing strategic opportunities and initiatives across the department. This fund will provide the Athletic Director with philanthropic dollars to assist in the areas of greatest need to ensure that UH student-athletes can compete for Big XII and national titles. Gifts will allow the Athletic Director to invest in priorities to meet the needs of our student-athletes on an annual basis.

Student-Athlete Success Fund

The Student-Athlete Success Fund provides support for the overall experience and holistic growth of our student-athletes. This fund enhances the areas of Student-Athlete Development, Sports Medicine & Performance, Nutrition, Mental Health, and Community Engagement.

Houston Athletics Facilities Initiative

The Houston Athletics Facilities allows Houston Athletics to continue to set the standard for premier athletic facilities. These commitments will enhance our ability to deliver a first-class experience for our student-athletes.
