Best in class fundraising strategies for facility projects
In less than one year, Oregon State University donors contributed over $92 million to transform Reser Stadium, exceeding an $85 million fundraising goal.
The fundraising effort to complete Reser Stadium was led by the OSU Foundation, with success driven by 20 donors who each made gifts of $1 million or more.
Construction is underway on the $161.5 million project that by fall of 2023 will turn the stadium into a national best-in-class football facility. The project includes year-round programs and spaces serving OSU students, faculty and staff, fans, and community members, including a state-of-the-art welcome center for new students and their families, and a 35,000-square-foot wellness center.
After years of planning for the Completing Reser Stadium fundraising effort, the OSUF team overcome several challenges on the way to reaching the fundraising goal. During this session we will talk about the challenges and opportunities that were presented to us along the path to success.
