OHSU Give Day 2025

Celebrating its 5th year on May 21, OHSU Give Day is a day of community where donors come together to make an impact. It's a special opportunity for you to give to the areas at OHSU you care most about. Your support of OHSU Give Day will help make a difference through life-changing care, research and education.

On May 21, there will be exclusive matches and challenges available to make your gift's impact go further. And, when you give, others will be inspired to follow your lead. Together, we can make a bigger difference.

Matches double the impact of your gift. A match can be 1:1 to the fund you are giving to or the match can support an area or fund designated by the donor providing the match. Details are included on each match and challenge. Matches are available while funds last. Participation challenges are driven by the number of gifts toward a certain fund. Once the challenge is met, the gift is unlocked. If you have questions, please contact us at [email protected] or 503-228-1730.

Let everyone know! Tell your friends, family and networks that you’ve made a gift, and encourage them to give. Post on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or other social media using the hashtag #ohsugiveday. Send an email. Make a call. Share why you celebrate and support OHSU.
