The Family Campaign the campaign for OSU – supported by its people. It’s about giving back to our University. The support of faculty and staff is paramount to our shared success because it is a measure of the positive attitude and belief in the University OSU employees share.

How many faculty and staff give back to OSU?
Twenty-three percent of OSU employees currently give back to OSU. Thank you to the 981 faculty and staff who have made gifts already this year. If you are one of those employees you already understand the great need and the tremendous satisfaction in giving back to your college or department.

Your gift should be based on the level at which you are comfortable giving. No gift is too small, and gifts of all sizes are utilized and appreciated by the University. Charitable giving is a deeply personal choice, and we encourage you to make thoughtful consideration to the size of your gift and its potential impact.

Your gifts can qualify you for a Donor Club Membership. All donor club members receive two OSU Foundation Donor Club car decals, three STATE magazines annually and the Legacy magazine. In addition, Presidents Club members will receive invitations to all Presidents Club Events and recognition of their gifts in the Legacy Magazine.

Increasing is easy; just fill out a new Family Campaign pledge form.
Can I use a credit card?

What is a matching gift?
Many companies will match donations and your spouse may work for one of these companies. Please check with their HR departments to see if they have a matching gift program and take advantage of it. You and your spouse will be credited with the matching gift once it is received. It’s an easy way to double your donation.
