Each year, thousands of alumni, parents and friends support the Oxy Fund and make an immediate impact with their giving.

Gifts to the Oxy Fund are critically important to student life and wellness, academics, and every other aspect of the unique Oxy experience, from financial aid and faculty research to athletics and the arts. Unrestricted annual gifts provide approximately 4% of the College's operational budget, underwriting expenses across all departments, programs and organizations.

When we say that every gift matters, we mean it. Here are some ways your Oxy Fund gift provides immediate support across campus:
