Oregon State University Foundation

Mission

The OSU Foundation partners with Oregon State University to engage our community, inspire investment, and steward resources to enhance the university's excellence and impact. In fiscal year 2025, the Foundation advanced this mission by engaging more than 40,000 donors, alumni, parents and friends of the university through philanthropy, events, volunteer service and outreach. The Foundation raised over $200 million to support student success, faculty research and programs of innovation and discovery across the university and marked a historic milestone as the endowment's market value surpassed $1 billion for the first time, strengthening the university's long-term impact and sustainability. The Foundation's work aligns with Oregon State University's strategic plan, Prosperity Widely Shared, which focuses on three institutional goals: doubling research expenditures to drive discovery and solutions; increasing six-year graduation rates to 80 percent so every student can succeed;
