My gift of $10, $50 or $100 would be a drop in the bucket. Will it really make a difference?
Every gift makes a difference, and your gift can accomplish much more than you think. A&M-Commerce has over 90,000 living alumni. If every alumnus gave $50 per year, the resulting $4.5 million would create life-changing opportunities for students! High participation rates in alumni giving inspire others to give and also positively impact national college rankings. Your gift, no matter the size, is helping to increase the value of your degree and the success of future graduates.
May I choose where my donation goes?

I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information and a story about Texas A&M University-Commerce. Is this a legitimate project or is it a scam?
It’s legit! We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce an Oral History Publication for Texas A&M University-Commerce.

This project allows Texas A&M University-Commerce to hear about your personal experiences and explain how Texas A&M University-Commerce has helped shape your lives.
How do I know my information will only be used for Oral History Project purposes?
