Annual Giving

Annual gifts to the K20 Center may be made through two primary annual programs.

K20 CENTER ANNUAL FUND

The K20 Center’s Annual Fund provides each alumnus and friend with the opportunity to support the K20 Center.  This program provides the K20 Center with critical support to enhance a myriad of programs and facilities.  Gifts through the annual fund help to support our nationally recognized programs in leadership and learning, student projects to improve K-12 schools and communities, K20 scholarships and graduate fellowships, teaching and research laboratories, K20 Faculty Fellows, and classroom renovations.

Unrestricted funds provide both the director and associate directors with the ability to support essential programs that cannot be adequately funded through startup grants and state appropriations.  To make a donation to the K20 Center, please use our online pledge form.

PRESIDENT’S ASSOCIATES

The President’s Associates at the University of Oklahoma is the single most successful private support program in the history of OU. Since its beginning in 1979, the President’s Associates Program has been integral to the success of the University of Oklahoma in areas ranging from the National Scholars Program to the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms.  All gifts received through the President’s Associates are used entirely for academic purposes and enable the University to address critical needs or to explore exciting new opportunities.  While OU Associates may make their gift entirely unrestricted to the University of Oklahoma, we encourage our K20 Center alumni and friends to designate one half of their gift to the K20 Center.  All gifts are tax deductible, and corporate matching gifts may be included as part of an annual contribution by including the matching gift form. President’s Associates participation levels are:
