Texas Southern University is thrilled to announce a remarkable gift from esteemed philanthropists Janet and Jeff Share. They have donated a condominium on Houston’s west side, just two miles from the Galleria Mall. 

“The Shares have once again demonstrated their belief in the transformative power of education,” said Charlie W. Coleman III, associate vice president of development, about the condominium donation. “Their gift strengthens TSU’s ability to provide the tools and spaces our students need to thrive. We are profoundly grateful for their unwavering support.” 

The Shares KTSU Donation

This donation follows the Shares’ establishment of a groundbreaking $54,000 endowment for KTSU, TSU‘s on-campus radio station, in March 2024.

In addition to the endowment, the Shares contributed their extensive jazz and blues collection to KTSU, reflecting their deep love for music and commitment to the station, which has been a longstanding part of their lives. 

“We had been giving to charity for a long time, like everybody. We had been spreading it out over too many places; We had planned on picking our favorite one place that we really wanted to make it count. So, we met with KTSU and the university as an extension of that and it worked out perfectly. We made our choice,” Janet said last March following the family’s donation to KTSU. 

Jeff echoed that sentiment in March: “We are extremely honored and pleased that we could help out TSU. We look to do more in the future. We can’t think of a better way to give back to our community than to do what we’re doing now.”

The proceeds from the condominium donation will be available for the university’s unrestricted use, further supporting TSU’s mission to foster student success and create lasting opportunities for growth.
