Our diverse backgrounds, interests, talents, and careers weave to tell the story of Ohio Wesleyan. Every piece of the fabric matters. It will take our whole OWU community to enable the next generation of students to have an outstanding experience, and our community, ultimately, is you.
For 1,842 minutes, you can show your individual support for OWU by making a gift to:
- Ensure college remains affordable for every OWU student, despite an increase in need;
- Provide essential campus experiences, including athletics and campus programming;
- and, yes, make sure all this happens safely on campus amidst the ongoing pandemic.
Your gift of any size will help the university provide the best of what OWU has to offer while meeting students where they are. Plus, thanks to a generous donor, your gift will be matched $1 for $1, up to $100,000, for twice the impact!
Can we count on you to be one of the 1,842?
Don’t forget—Annual Giving Program gifts through We Are OWU count toward class giving totals!
Thank you, Bishops, for continuing to create the story of Ohio Wesleyan! See the results from this year's record-breaking giving day in the above video.

Wow. Thank you for participating in We Are OWU! We continue to count the totals, but it’s obvious we could count on you!
This is a year to stretch our goals. We knew reaching 1,842 donors was an ambitious objective, but we wanted to aim high, and you really stretched with us. Thank you! Your gift enhances the OWU experience for students so that they may also aim high in their endeavors.
We’ve had a lot of fun this week, and we’re so happy you could join us. Together, We Are OWU.

WOW! At the start of the giving campaign, Ohio Wesleyan announced an anonymous donor who would match $1 for $1 for the first $100,000. Thanks to your generosity, we've fully met that match in just five hours!
Now, there are additional anonymous donors who will match another $25 for every donor who makes a gift of any amount before 6:42 p.m. EST tomorrow, up to $15,000. Their philanthropic support means your gift will still be amplified!

Only 1 day left before We Are OWU kicks off! Several members of our OWU community have already stepped up to offer their support. This year's We Are OWU Crew, in particular, has worked steadily behind the scenes to support We Are OWU. Thank you, Crew!
We Are OWU is your chance to leverage not one, but two matches! Class of '88 gifts will not only be matched $1 for $1 by We Are OWU's anonymous donor, but new and increased gifts will also be matched $2 for $1 by your classmate, Tom Simons '88 and his wife Lorraine McCann Simons '90! Multiply your impact, unlock these matching gift dollars, and help 1988 reach the top of the leaderboard. Together, we can make a difference!
