About
The Oklahoma State University Foundation (OSU Foundation) stands as the designated private fundraising organization for Oklahoma State University, operating under the authority of the OSU Board of Regents. Founded in 1961, the organization has grown from humble beginnings with a single development officer raising a few thousand dollars to becoming one of the top higher-education fundraising organizations in the Big 12 Conference. Headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, the OSU Foundation manages donor dollars to provide the most advanced educational opportunities to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of OSU. The Foundation's mission is to unite donor passions with university priorities to elevate the impact of Oklahoma State University, and it exists solely for the benefit of the university. From scholarships to community programs, donors generously support the spirit and tradition of Oklahoma State University. The organization has achieved remarkable milestones, including launching the comprehensive campaign 'The Code Calls' with a $2 billion goal, having already surpassed $1 billion in commitments. More than 100,000 donors contributed to previous campaigns exceeding expectations, demonstrating the Foundation's ability to mobilize support for educational excellence.
