Faculty, Staff and Retiree Giving
The All University Fund Drive (AUFD) is an annual effort supported by the dedication of faculty, staff and retirees - Oakland University’s closest allies. Giving sets us apart as leaders striving to make a difference for our students and furthering the work we do.
Did You Know:
- MUSIC SUPPORTERS: Gifts to the OU Music Department of $250 or more will be matched by an anonymous donor. Make your gift now to double your impact to the arts. Support Fund # 30051 – MTD Music Gift Fund.
- OU is a nonprofit organization and relies on donor support to keep education within reach and offer the programs on which we pride ourselves.
- Many students receive scholarships that help ease the financial burden of a college education. Others participate in student organizations, research and other activities that benefit from donor support.
- Tuition alone only covers around 81% of the cost to educate a full-time student. Donors like you help fill that gap.
- You can give to your own department or area to help your work go further.

Top Five Funds
The competition for the top five funds was bigger than ever in 2019! This competition, based on the number of donors, will award $5,000 to each of the top five funds receiving the greatest number of donors, courtesy of a generous personal gift by President Pescovitz.
The top five funds in 2019 are:
Meadow Brook Hall Gifts and Donations (98 donors)
CAS Finish Line Scholarship (88)
Student Athlete Services Gift Fund (71)
SMTD Study Abroad Program Support (61)
Grizzlies Food Pantry (60)
Participation
The official AUFD Campus Competition is underway! Top units by percentage in both a large unit category and a small unit category will be crowned champions with a traveling trophy.
Participation will be calculated based on full time employees who give. Part time employees will count as a sort of "extra credit," adding to the numerator and the denominator.
Example: A department has 10 full time employees and five of those give - that's 50% participation (5/10); the same department also has five part time employees who participate. This takes the participation to 66% (10/15)
A large division is defined as having 100 or more full time employees; small divisions have less than 100 full time employees.
