About the OSU Fund

 

Every gift makes a difference

Your gift, combined with those of more than 30,000 fellow donors, helps OSU meet its top priorities. Just as in 1857 -- the year funds were raised to build Benton Hall -- a community of donors comes together with a spirit of unity and collective generosity.

It is this spirit along with your annual commitment to the OSU Fund that helps provide scholarships and fellowships, attracts outstanding students to OSU, recruits and retains world-class faculty, purchases equipment and books for the library and enhances research for life altering discoveries.

 

Support OSU and change the world

The OSU Fund is characterized by gifts of up to $25,000 and measures its success in terms of both participation and total dollars raised. Participation in annual giving is closely monitored by foundations and organizations that rank universities, so in a very real sense, a commitment to annual giving is an ongoing vote of support for Oregon State University. We extend our deepest thanks to those alumni and friends who made annual gifts totaling over $19 million last year.
