Our Crowdfunding Groups
Be Counted! is a two-week donor competition that runs from Friday, April 15, 2016 through Friday, April 29, 2016. UTSA colleges will campaign for the popular vote of alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends to win. University President Ricardo Romo will award the top prize of $15,000 to the college that exceeds its donor participation goal by the highest percentage.
Make a donation of any size to the College of Architecture, Construction and Planning today to vote in support of our students. On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff of the College of Architecture, Construction and Planning, thank you in advance for your support in this campaign.

This year, the College of Architecture, Construction and Planning will use your gift to create more student scholarships and provide cutting-edge technology for our students and faculty to use.

YES! If you’ve given to the college since September 1, 2015, you have been counted. If you’re not sure whether you have or if you gave during a prior fiscal year, you must give now in order to Be Counted! Any gift of any amount made between April 15, 2016 and April 29, 2016 (including post-marked) will count toward the campaign and help your college win the prize.
Additionally, if you made a gift to another area of the university, such as athletics, it does not count toward this campaign, however, gifts made to departments or scholarships within your college will be counted.
We encourage you to give online, so you can be counted right away! There are other ways to participate:
