Women’s Giving Circle Member Community
Empowering OSU through collective philanthropy
Founded in 2003, the Women’s Giving Circle is a philanthropic collective committed to fostering a community of dedicated and passionate women who believe in advancing Oregon State University, supporting student success and leaving a lasting legacy. Since its founding, this collective has supported more than 26,000 students, funded 204 projects and granted more than $1.4 million.
Member experience:
“As members we have a unique opportunity to support cutting-edge programs across OSU’s campuses and disciplines. We review grants that meet emerging needs that may fall outside the normal budgeting cycle yet can be game-changers for students. Our unique, collaborative approach to pooled funding and the grant review process allows Circle members to be at the forefront of ensuring students’ needs are met.”
