Oakland University Day of Giving 2023

Thank you for making Oakland University Day of Giving great!

This day unites the OU community in a single mission: to rally behind the OU projects and initiatives you love most.

We know that each of our donors has unique reasons to give to Oakland University, and with hundreds of worthy funds to support, there's an opportunity for everyone to get involved. Your generosity helps to inspire, elevate and transform students, research, the community, and more.

OU Day of Giving plays an important role in The Campaign for Oakland University: Aspire. Advance. Achieve., which accelerates our mission in education through these key pillars: student success; teaching, research and discovery; community collaboration; campus expansion; and innovative programs.

With your help, we know GREATNESS IS IN THE FORECAST!
