OHSU Give Day 2022

Celebrating its second year on May 18, OHSU Give Day is a day of community and generosity for OHSU. It's a special opportunity for you to give to the areas you care most about. Your support of OHSU Give Day will fuel vital and life-saving programs across OHSU, from groundbreaking cancer research to pediatric care to education.

On May 18, there will be exclusive matches and challenges available to make your gift's impact go further. Plus, you'll receive an OHSU Give Day tote bag when you make a gift of $40 or more. And, when you give, others will be inspired to follow your lead. Together, we can make a bigger difference.

For the 1:1 Match for Doernbecher Children's Hospital and the 1:1 Match for Student Scholarships*, there is a $5,000 gift cap so that many people have the opportunity to participate.

*Funds qualifying for the Student Scholarships match include current-use scholarship and student support funds and endowment income funds; gifts below $50,000 to existing endowment funds are not eligible.

Participation challenges are driven by the number of gifts toward a certain fund or by a certain group of people. Once the challenge is met, the gift is unlocked.

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

Sign up to be a Give Day Ambassador by clicking on the Ambassador tab at the top of this webpage. You'll have access to a personal dashboard with a toolkit that will make it even easier to reach out and share the excitement with your network. You can also track the impact of your messages, including the number of new gifts you've motivated.
