Thanks to the leadership of President David L. Boren and the support of OU alumni and friends, OU has achieved remarkable fundraising success.

The University experienced its best year ever for cash gifts in FY 2008, raising more than $273 million in gifts and pledges.

At the end of FY 2008, OU’s total endowment was at an all-time high of $1.15 billion, a dramatic increase since FY 1994 when the endowment was $229 million.

This generosity has beautified campuses, built new facilities, enhanced programs, and strengthened faculty and the student body, and further motivated giving and goodwill about the institution.
