Donation committee
A committee comprised of the following four positions meets each semester to discuss the merits of the donation requests and decides the groups/amount that will receive donations. Priority is given to those student organizations that best support the Texas Exes’ mission. A majority vote determines the distribution, with an unresolved tie vote resulting in no action (no contribution).
- Associate Executive Director
- Chief Operating Officer
- Texas Exes student chapter president
Additional Guidelines
- The ability to have funds for donations is not guaranteed from year to year.
- Student groups receiving donations are not guaranteed to receive donations in the future. Groups interested in a donation, regardless of whether or not a donation had been given to the group in the past, must apply.
- Life membership requests can be part of the donation and will be valued at a cost of $550.
