OU community celebrates record-breaking Giving Tuesday!

On November 28, the Oglethorpe community demonstrated their collective commitment and dedication to OU by giving back to the university on GivingTuesday 2023.

Alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff made gifts to the funds that were meaningful to them. Gifts large and small came together to make a collective impact of more than $14,200, breaking last year’s GivingTuesday record!

Understanding the importance of supporting Oglethorpe’s greatest needs, many donors from across the country designated their gifts to this essential fund. It was an inspiring showing of generosity and philanthropy from the OU community.

Equally inspiring was the number of individuals who helped spread the word and encouraged others to get involved and donate to Oglethorpe on GivingTuesday! By sharing information about OU with their networks, they helped to play a vital role in OU’s success.

Donations made to Oglethorpe on GivingTuesday will work to help empower current and future Petrels to be leaders in our society and help students achieve incredible things. Every day when donors invest in Oglethorpe, they are helping to ensure that Oglethorpe can continue to provide enriching educational experiences and maintain high academic standards as students pursue their passions and explore their interests.

Thank you to all the donors who supported Oglethorpe on GivingTuesday 2023! If you missed out on this record-breaking giving day, you can still show your support for Oglethorpe by making a gift online today. And, be sure to save the date for our own very special OU Giving Day, February 14, 2024!
