You’re Building Beaver Nation: $11.6M Raised from July 1-Sept. 30 for OSU Student-Athletes
November 06, 2025 | General
Thanks to the generosity of Beaver Nation, Oregon State Athletics donors gifted $11.6 million from July 1 through September 30 – an 80% increase over the five-year average.
Â
This isn't just a number. It's a movement through philanthropy. It's what our supporters are building:
Â
And now, for the first time, philanthropic gifts also support direct financial benefits to student-athletes from OSU to support their personal pursuits.
Â
"This fundraising success reflects the powerful partnership between the OSU Foundation and Athletics — and the incredible generosity of Beaver Nation, whose donations are helping us redefine what's possible for our student-athletes," said Aaron Escobar, OSU Foundation Vice President for Athletics Development/Senior Associate A.D. "Before the July 1 revenue sharing rules went into effect, our programming was already in place. That readiness allowed us to activate philanthropic support for our new college athletics landscape immediately."
