We know the Ohio Wesleyan University community will support many important causes and organizations this Giving Tuesday and throughout this season of giving. As you're considering where to direct your dollars, here are a few reasons to choose to give through OWU:
- Access to Education: Education is core to building a society and community that is curious, kind, and just. We're committed to keeping an OWU education accessible to everyone; choosing to donate to OWU provides the financial aid, quality faculty, internships, and other resources our students need to enter today's global workforce empowered to be a force for good.
- 99% of Students: 99% of OWU students rely on financial aid to fund their education. We're proud to be able to provide that level of support to so many students, thanks to continued generosity from donors like you.
- Choose Your Passions: If there's an area of campus you feel most passionate about -- whether you choose to support access to education, the OWU Connection, athletics, your favorite academic department(s), faculty support, campus programming, or Women of Ohio Wesleyan (WOW) -- we encourage you to give through OWU to the area that is nearest to your heart.
Thank you to the 171 donors who chose to support their passion at OWU during the #OWUGivingChooseDay campaign, giving $68,314 in support of OWU students!
Thank you, too, to our volunteers and matching gift and challenge donors who helped to make this campaign a success!
Here's a sneak peek at a few of our favorite campaign results:
Be one of the 20 classmates needed to unlock a $10,000 gift for OWU!
Now until December 17, if 20 members of the Class of 1977 make a gift of $100 or more, one of your classmates will give $10,000! Yes, that means a total of $2,000 could unlock an additional $10,000, multiplying the impact of your class!
Will you rise to the challenge?
