2022 Osher Fundraising Report

In consultation with the Osher Leadership Council, the Osher Institute at the University of Richmond set its 2022 annual fundraising goals at $30,000 from 25% of current Osher membership.

We are pleased and thankful that our members’ generosity allowed us to surpass both these goals. In 2022, 270 members in 217 households gave $38,740.

Some fundraising highlights from 2022:

  • 100% of the members of the Osher Leadership Council contributed.
  • Our first gift of the year was given on January 8, 2022, and our last gift was given on December 31, 2022.
  • Gifts ranged from $5 to $2,000.
  • More donors and more dollars were raised this year from members than any other year.
  • More donors and dollars were raised during our 2022 university-wide UR Here Giving Day than any other UR Here Giving Day year.
  • Tax-savvy donors included two donors of appreciated stocks and twenty-three donors using qualified charitable distributions from traditional IRAs or donor advised funds.

We are thankful for each donor and each gift. Our Osher community is stronger when we all work together and give gifts of time, talent, and treasures.
