The Campaign for OSU

On Dec 31, 2014, the Foundation concluded The Campaign for OSU, the university's first comprehensive fundraising campaign, in which more than 106,000 donors made gifts exceeding $1.1 billion to advance university priorities. The powerful momentum generated by their support has fueled Oregon State's rise as an internationally recognized public research university. Fundraising efforts are now focused on targeted special initiatives that advance OSU's strategic plan for creating transformative student learning experiences and building on its greatest strengths and areas of greatest potential impact.
