Aggies for OnRamp

What’s the greatest college within Texas A&M University? It’s not hard to make a case for the Mays Business School! Yet again, multiple Mays classes partnered with OnRamp this year to raise money for our clients and conduct research for our programs.

Kyle Gammenthaler's Strategic Philanthropy class spent the semester studying nonprofits, meeting with community leaders, and asking a hard question: Who is doing work worth investing in? They chose OnRamp along with a few other amazing local charities. Last week, Benjamin Miller, Ellie Veenigen, Jackson Harris, and Olivia Lopes awarded us $20,000, enough to gift vehicles and support to two additional families this year. Since 2016, this course has distributed more than $1.6 million to local nonprofits. We are honored and humbled to be among them.

A second group of Mays students brought a different kind of value. Brayden Phelps, Brazos Lewis, Cody Carey, Kaylee Clayton, and Michael Maddox took on OnRamp as their Integrated Business and Consulting class project. In the fall, they launched a fundraiser selling 12th Man license plates, raising over $1,900 for our ministry. This spring, they shifted into consulting mode — researching how to scale our CRM (the database that manages all our clients and vehicles) as OnRamp prepares for national expansion. That kind of strategic thinking is genuinely invaluable to a growing organization like ours.

We are so grateful for this university partnership and for the students who gave their time, talent, and creativity to our mission. You're already making a difference, and we can't wait to see what you do next.

Gig 'em! 👍
