Every strong brand must evolve. The fundraising arm of Oregon State Athletics began as the Beaver Club. That label transitioned to the Beaver Athletic Student Fund and then a little over two years ago, Our Beaver Nation was born. So, what exactly is Our Beaver Nation? It’s simple.
ONE OPPORTUNITY ONE COMMUNITY ONE EDUCATION ONE NATION
It’s the 1 place that allows you to have an impact on our studentathletes. It’s the 1 way to provide them an OPPORTUN1TY, to be a part of our TRAD1TION, to CHANGE THEIR L1VES. Your next question is probably how to get involved. That’s even easier, it’s through this book. This book is the 1 place for giving a donation and purchasing your season tickets for the 2015 OSU Football season. Be bold.

INDIVIDUAL SPORT GIVING Oregon State has 17 varsity sports, all of which have desires that extend beyond the funding capabilities of the department. Gifts to individual teams assist in providing the support needed to compete at the highest level. Individual sport giving is the perfect way to feel a deeper connection with the OSU program most meaningful to you.
WHYTE TRACK AND FIELD CENTER This project includes the installation of grandstands and restrooms, a press box, scoreboard, a hammer throw area, athlete staging areas and other amenities required to host significant meets including the Pac-12 Championships, as well as endow a men’s program.
ENDOWMENTS An endowment commitment is both a gift now and for the future. The principal is continually reinvested and a percentage of the accrued interest is used annually for scholarship and program support. Our goal is to secure the financial future of Oregon State Athletics through the use of endowed funds.
STUDENT-ATHLETE LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE Our vision is to identify unique interests and skills of studentathletes and determine initial professional direction and course for success. We strive to connect student-athletes to industry leaders, innovators and business professionals that otherwise would not have been accessible, which provides student-athletes with real world experiences that will benefit them both personally and professionally. This program prepares student-athletes to leave Oregon State as desirable employees, who are ready to be leaders in the workforce and life.
PLANNED GIVING Planned gifts include bequests, trusts, gift annuities and other gift vehicles. Securities, real estate, CDs and retirement assets are examples. Often, combining the right asset with the right gift vehicle is the key to meeting your financial and charitable goals.
