University of Oregon Foundation

Financial Overview

The UO Foundation manages gifts of all types and sizes, with a financial focus on managing major gift endowments. Endowments are invested both to provide an annual distribution to support current university activities and to achieve a long-term growth rate that preserves the purchasing power of the endowments. In this way, endowments benefit both current and future generations.

 

We are committed to following the highest standards of service and ethical conduct when managing private gifts for the benefit of the university.
