2024 Osher Fundraising Update

Each year the Osher Institute at the University of Richmond sets fundraising goals with the guidance of our Osher Leadership Council. Osher’s 2024 annual fundraising goals are $38,000 from 28% of current Osher membership. All gifts, of all amounts, made during any campaign, given any time of the year, count towards our yearly goals.

Money raised in 2024 will support special events, speaker travel expenses, our instructor and volunteer recognition gatherings, as well as grow financial reserves. We are grateful for every donor and every dollar donated.

In honor of Osher’s 20th anniversary celebrating starting in the fall, some members have expressed interest in creating a match gift opportunity for year end. If you would like to contribute towards a match challenge, or if you would like to explore ways to maximize your charitable impact in strategic ways such as a qualified charitable distribution gifts, please reach out to Amy Edwards, Osher Office, at aedwards@richmond.edu.
