1. Strategic Fundraising Initiatives
Since the successful completion of OSU’s $1 billion “Campaign for OSU, the OSU Foundation and the University have launched a series of Strategic Fundraising Initiatives (SFI).
Our goal through the SFI is to increase the level of private philanthropy over the next 3-5 years to position OSU for the next comprehensive campaign.
Our two guiding principles are focused on “Student Success” and “Areas of Distinction and Impact”.
On January 1st, 2015 three of these important initiatives were launched.
Marine Studies Initiative – A $65 million initiative that will develop a $50 million state-of- the-art teaching and research facility at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, and provide $15 million in important research and programmatic support across university-wide programs in Corvallis and Newport.
Oregon Forest Science Complex – A $60 million initiative to support a new building complex that will help to secure OSU’s position as the preeminent center of forestry education and research in the world.
Valley Football Center Renovation – A $42 million expansion project that will provide a first-class experience for OSU’s student-athletes, enhance the university’s recruiting efforts, and increase its overall competitive advantage.
