About the Foundation

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Foundation contributes to academic excellence. It is an organization committed to advancing higher education and ensuring that UW Oshkosh students enjoy successful futures.

Established in 1963, the Foundation was created to promote, receive, invest and disburse gifts to meet the goals and needs of UW Oshkosh. It consistently motivates donors to become increasingly involved in the development of the University. The Foundation offices are located in the historical Oviatt House in the heart of the campus.

The Foundation is a separate and distinct legal entity from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and qualifies as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization under the United States Internal Revenue Code.
