Texas philanthropist and Hollins son and grandson Robert Priddy of Wichita Falls has issued a challenge to all Texas alumnae, graduate alumni, current and past parents, and friends to raise $100,000 in new gifts to the Hollins Fund by December 31, 2010. If we are successful, Mr. Priddy will match that amount, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.

The importance of annual giving to the Hollins Fund cannot be overstated. Yearly gifts to Hollins help close the gap between what Hollins charges students in tuition and what their education really costs. Unrestricted gifts can be applied wherever the need is greatest.
Unrestricted gifts to the Hollins Fund help fund day-to-day operations of the institution, such as faculty salaries, library books, heating and cooling, laboratory supplies, athletic equipment, and maintenance. Approximately 10 percent of the Hollins operating budget is funded annually by gifts to the Hollins Fund. Maintaining this level of support during the campaign period is essential.
Many efforts needing immediate, current-year funding can be supported through a restricted gift to the Hollins Fund. Examples include gifts of any size for scholarships or support for strategic initiatives. Hollins is happy to work with donors who have special interests in a particular aspect of the university's work.
