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.

In honor of Osher’s 20th anniversary, four Osher households have graciously decided to create a Match Challenge, doubling all gifts to Osher made between September and year-end, up to $5,000. 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. 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.
