University of Oregon Foundation Overview

The University of Oregon Foundation is a nonprofit corporation responsible for administering private gifts made to further the University's mission. Although the Foundation is a separate entity from the University, the Foundation's sole reason for existence is to partner with the University and serve in our donors' best interests. We are committed to the highest standards of service and ethical conduct when it comes to managing donor's gifts for the benefit of the University. Since 1922, the Foundation has received, invested, and distributed private gifts, funding student scholarships, faculty... support, academic programs, and building improvements. The Board approved investment strategy and distribution rate are designed to provide stable financial support for the University while preserving the purchasing power of endowment and trusts funds in the future. The Foundation ensures that all University spending of donor money is consistent with the donor's intention. Ensuring the management of donor gifts is a tremendous responsibility that every board member and every staff person take very seriously. It factors into every major decision the Foundation and its Board make, whether that decision will affect the University today or not for many years to come. More
