Each year through the OSU Women's Giving Circle (also known as the WGC), a group of alumni and friends pool their gifts together to fund vital and innovative grants for university programs. Members help decide which programs receive funding by reviewing grant proposals and selecting grant recipients.

Joining the Circle provides an opportunity for OSU alumni, parents and friends to network and learn more about OSU and the impact OSU has through collaborative giving. 

Become a member today:

• Gifts made by anyone at any amount are graciously accepted to support the Women’s Giving Circle Fund and provide additional money that is awarded to applicants.

For the 2025-26 academic year, the group awarded more than $100,000 to 11 OSU programs.
