JOIN COUGAR CLOUT

Cougar Clout is where pride and generosity meet action — a community of Cougars and friends who show up, share and shape what’s next for UH. Can't Stop Houston: The Centennial Campaign is our first major moment together, and your voice can help it travel.

Here’s how to build your Cougar Clout:

  1. Share the campaign video. Post The Centennial Campaign video and use #cantstophouston.
  2. Make your mark. A gift of $100 or more to any area of UH fuels scholarships, innovation and transformation across the university.
  3. Join Cougar Clout. Sign up to make it official — get early updates, insider content and tools to amplify UH stories all year long.

To celebrate the spirit of Cougar Clout, the University will share a limited number of campaign boxes with engaged participants as a gesture of thanks for their UH pride and enthusiasm.

$800 million and counting. Now it’s time to share!

Because of you, we've surpassed $800 million toward our $1 billion goal.

This is what momentum looks like, a community investing in students, research and the future of the University of Houston.

Share our campaign video or use the social assets below to help amplify this milestone because champions don't stop at 80%!

Subject: I just gave — will you?

Hi [First Name],

When I look at everything UH has done over the past century — the students who’ve graduated, the discoveries that started here, the way our university has shaped Houston — I feel proud. That story is already written.

But now it’s about momentum and what we do next. Can’t Stop Houston: The Centennial Campaign is already underway, and it’s about carrying that legacy into the next 100 years.

I made my gift because I want to be part of that, and I believe every gift matters. Whether it’s $10, $100 or more, each one powers transformation, supports students, drives innovation and shows the world that Cougars believe in their university.

I’d love for you to join me. Together, our support today will set the tone for UH’s next century.

Make your gift here: cantstop.uh.edu/give!

Proud to be a Cougar,
Shasta Cougar ('89)

Thank You Email (alumni-to-alumni)

Subject: Grateful you chose UH

Hi [First Name],

You make choices every day about where your time, energy and resources go — and I’m grateful you chose to support UH. That decision says you believe in this university, in what it gave you and in what it means for the next generation.

As we head into our 100th year, gifts like yours are creating scholarships that open doors, research that drives change and spaces that feel like home. It’s about more than the size of the gift; it’s about showing up and saying, I’m part of this.

To celebrate, download the “I Gave” graphic and share it. It’s a simple way to show your Cougar spirit and invite others to join in shaping the next century of UH.

Thank you again — from one Cougar to another, it means everything.

With gratitude,
Shasta Cougar ('89)
