To make the most of this generous support, the G-I has committed to establish a sustainable endowment for G-I student programs. We’ve launched a structured matching opportunity over the next three years:

• 2024-25: We aim to match donations up to the value of the earnings generated from $150,000

• 2025-26: We aim to match donations up to the value of the earnings generated from $150,000

• 2026-27: We aim to match donations up to the value of the earnings generated from $200,000

So when you donate to the new endowment fund, your donation will be matched by earnings received from the Briaud Students Fund. 100% of your gift goes to the new endowment.

With your support, we can grow the G-I Student Participation Fund and establish it as a lasting endowment—one that will benefit students for generations to come. Join us in making the most of this incredible opportunity. Make your gift today and help us build a lasting legacy!

Any donation helps, and all donations will be matched. For contributions of $25 or more, we have some limited-edition thank-you gifts.*
