Forever BEAVS

Forever BEAVS is a program that allows you to create a legacy by including Oregon State Athletics in your estate plans. Whether your passion is centered around a specific sport or encompasses OSU Athletics on a broader scale, your legacy could make a lasting impact on our student-athletes for years to come.

Forever CONNECTED

Your planned contribution ensures inclusion into the OSU Legacy Society. It joins you with a community of thousands of people who care deeply for Oregon State University and have chosen to create a significant impact long after their lifetimes. If you are already an OSU Legacy Society member, thank you very much for your generous consideration.

Forever REMEMBERED

Along with inclusion into the OSU Legacy Society, we would like to show our appreciation by listing your name online at ourbeavernation.com. And in the coming months we look forward to sending you a Forever BEAVS lapel pin. For estate gifts to athletics with an approximate value of $100,000 or more, we are excited to list your name within the halls of Gill Coliseum to be celebrated by Beaver Nation for years to come.

Currently, there over 60 Forever BEAVS participants. Through their actions, every one of them have vowed to forever leave their legacy with OSU Athletics and the student-athlete community forever.

Endowments are an impactful way for donors to create a legacy, while generating continuous funding for scholarships, programs, and coaching. Your gift is invested through the OSU Foundation, which will provide annual distributions in perpetuity with the goal of providing quality experiences for student-athletes. Image 1 forever beavs

Creating an endowment will help Oregon State lead the nation in holistic student-athlete development with a focus on graduation, academic achievement, student-athlete wellness, and post-graduation success. Image 2 forever beavs

Oregon State Athletics has 100 endowed funds valued at $16.8 million. Increasing these funds will help us achieve the strategic goal of long-term financial sustainability while providing critical resources that support our student-athletes. Image 3 forever beavs

Your endowment will impact our student-athletes in numerous ways. Each year, a portion of the fund you establish (currently 4 percent) is transferred to support the program of your choice.
