Oregon State University Foundation

CAPITAL PROGRAMS: The OSU foundation distributed these amounts, in accordance with donor intent, to the University in FY25 to support the construction or renovation of campus facilities. Major projects in FY25 included: The Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex, Valley Football Center enhancements, Reser Stadium - west side renovation, Withycombe Hall, Baseball Hitting Facility, Construction Safety Laboratory, Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts, and Austin Hall. The Foundation works with donors to complement the State of Oregon's investment in university facilities - often matching state dollars one to one. Currently under construction, the 143,000-square-foot Huang Complex will house one of the most powerful supercomputers in the country. Construction of the $213 million complex is funded by $100 million in philanthropic commitments to the OSU Foundation, $72 million in state bonds and the remainder from university funds.

SCHOLARSHIPS & OTHER STUDENT SUPPORT: The OSU foundation distributed these amounts, in accordance with donor intent, to the University in FY25 to support students through scholarships, fellowships, and other awards. Over time, donors have created over 2.418 unique scholarship, fellowship, and student support funds of various types and amounts at the OSU Foundation, of which 2,005 are endowed. These funds help ensure that an OSU education is accessible to qualified students, regardless of economic circumstances, and allow the University to recruit and retain outstanding students from Oregon and beyond. During the 2024/2025 academic year, 4,986 OSU students received donor-funded scholarships. A current Foundation priority is advancing the university's strategic goal of becoming a place where every student graduates. As part of its multi-year comprehensive fundraising campaign, the Foundation has set a $500 million goal for scholarships and student support. Campaign efforts emphasize donor investment in OSU's Finish in Four Initiative, which helps students complete their degrees on time while receiving a high-quality education that prepares them for careers, community engagement and long-term success.
