Unite donor passions with university priorities to elevate the impact of Oklahoma State University.
About us
As the private fundraising organization for Oklahoma State University, the OSU Foundation exists to unite donor passions with university priorities to elevate the impact of OSU. The Foundation manages donor dollars to provide the most advanced educational opportunities available to students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the university. From scholarships to community programs, OSU donors generously support the spirit and tradition of Oklahoma State University. In February 2010, Oklahoma State University publicly announced Branding Success, an audacious $1 billion comprehensive campaign that includes initiatives in student support, endowed professorships and chairs, facility and program support. The campaign ended in December 2014, resulting in $1.2 billion raised and pledged toward Oklahoma State University. More than 102,000 cowboys, cowgirls and friends came together to make Branding Success a reality. As we strive to be the premier land-grant institution in the nation, the OSU Foundation is committed to uniting donor passions with university priorities. We are America's Brightest Orange, discover your ORANGE passion at osugiving.com!

Your gifts on #WorldMentalHealthDay will impact the lives of countless Oklahoma State University students. Hear from two students who benefited from OSU’s mental health resources. Starting college can be thrilling, but for Hayleigh Lamb, it also brought feelings of isolation. With the help of her therapist, she learned to navigate her challenges and found strength in her journey. “Help is out there, and once you get it, the world really is a much brighter place,” she said. Dylan Prater found support through therapy and the OSU Reboot Center, which helped him navigate his anxiety and recharge during stressful times. “Seek out help not because it will fix you, but so that it can help you fix yourself,” he said. There is still time to make a difference in the lives of #okstate students! To make a gift, visit https://bit.ly/3BCvtnz.
