As Oakland strives to fulfill its ambitious mission and vision for the future, endowment funding is a critical component of our financial health, ensuring that scholarships continue to be awarded and that faculty positions, research, curricular enhancements, equipment and facility upkeep continue to be funded.  Through wise stewardship and investing, Oakland has benefited over the years from generous endowment gifts and provided many students with an education they might not otherwise have been able to receive.

Collectively, our gifts continue to advance The Campaign for OU, which is closing in on its goal of $110 million by 2010.  To date, we have raised more than $96 million in gifts and pledges.  Without the generosity of friends, and the dedication of our committed volunteers who help guide our campaign, this would not be possible.

Thank you for all that you do to position Oakland for even broader reach and impact in the years to come as it delivers a distinctive undergraduate and graduate education.
