UT wanted to merge the Giving and Campaign sites into one comprehensive site that housed all the different schools of education and fundraising initiatives. Since UT provided the design, we got to work building a flexible, content-manageable site that would drive donations, reach out to potential donors and support each of UT’s fundraising platforms.
The UT Capital Campaign is an eight-year, $3 billion comprehensive campaign for UT to become the best public university in the nation and take its academic programs and research endeavors to the next level. However, it’s not the only way to donate to UT. The UT Giving site offers alumni and all other benefactors the opportunity to make a donation anywhere in the university. And while both sites existed separately from one another, they lacked the fluidity to easily go back and forth between them.

Hook ‘Em!
Built on a WordPress platform, the UT Giving site features a unified theme, simple architecture, and rich media experience that showcases the many ways UT is working to change the world. We built a custom jQuery application on the home page with interchangeable stories about Alumni, teachers, schools, and students. We incorporated video and several RSS feeds with stories from different areas all over the University. Donations can be made from every area of the site, and users can read several archives of stories from Alumni, students, donors, and teachers.
Bevo you Go
The goal of giving.utexas.edu was to support fundraising initiatives, drive donations and reach out to potential donors. The interactive experience Pixeldust created for the University of Texas at Austin provides potential and recurring donors with the information and tools to donate to one of the many ways UT is changing the world.
