Find Your Passion

Last fall, a group of faculty and staff volunteers came together to expand the impact of employee giving. Thanks to the incredible generosity of loyal OSU colleagues, $980,000 in gifts helped to:

  • Engage Undergraduates in game-changing research
  • Bring the arts to ever-growing audiences
  • Stock the student food pantry
  • Support our student-athletes’ drive to be champions – in their sports and in their lives

The common theme: in our OSU family of learners, innovators, and explorers, when we come together, a little support puts us that much closer to our big dreams.

Your generous support for Oregon State University makes a tremendous impact on students, facilities, faculty, and programs. Whatever your passion, you can find a way to have an impact at our university!

It Pays to Have a Plan

The Office of Gift Planning helps donors and their professional advisors design a giving plan. Thoughtful, informed planning can yield significant benefits — for the donor and for Oregon State University. Planned gifts include bequests, trusts, gift annuities, and other gift vehicles.

OSU Loyal

We’d like to extend a special thanks to members of OSU Loyal, our donor recognition program that honors faculty and staff who have given to OSU for multiple years:

  • 941 of our generous colleagues have donated to OSU for five or more years.
  • 265 have given for more than 25 years!

“The HSRC just moved into our newly renovated space in Avery Lodge and I am so excited for the support and resources we’ll be able to bring to low-income students at OSU in the years to come. Our space has a commercial kitchen, a shower for homeless students, and a food pantry space that should make this campus proud. I am so grateful to be doing this work and helping the students who so often fall through the cracks.”

— Nicole Hindes, Coordinator, Human Services Resource Center
