The Campaign for OSU
Donors to Oregon State University are making history. Together, loyal supporters and a team of talented development professionals helped push The Campaign for OSU past its original $625 million goal with almost a year to spare. Energized by this tremendous momentum and inspired by opportunities presented in the university’s strategic plan, the OSU Foundation increased the campaign goal to $850 million. The most ambitious fundraising effort in the state’s history, The Campaign will run through 2013 and will help propel OSU to a new level of distinction and global leadership.
