Oregon State University Foundation

We partner with OSU to engage our community, inspire investment and steward resources to enhance the university’s excellence and impact.

The Oregon State University Foundation in Corvallis, Oregon, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Oregon as a non-profit corporation on October 15, 1947. The Oregon State University Foundation strengthens the University's capacity to broaden access to high-quality higher education, push the frontiers of knowledge, contribute to Oregon's prosperity, and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of the state and the nation. It does so through advocacy, fundraising, investment management, and stewardship and as the IRS 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation charged with receiving and administering private gifts for the University.
