HOW CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE
When you give to USAO, you have flexibility in determining how the funds will be used, as well as many options for making your gift.

Give by Check or Money Order
Please make checks payable to USAO Foundation and denote the fund name in the memo line. Mail to:

Matching Gifts
Many employers will match charitable gifts made by employees and their spouses, board members, and retirees. A matching gift can double – and in some cases triple – the impact of your gift.
To find out if your organization has a matching gift policy, please check with the human resources office of your organization. If your company offers matching gifts, please obtain and fill out the appropriate company documents and send it to:
USAO Foundation
1727 W. Alabama Avenue
Chickasha, OK 73018
Tax ID #73-1031040
Payroll Deduction
USAO employees can make charitable donations to the university by payroll deduction. To enroll, please visit the University Advancement office, 106 Troutt Hall.
No matter why you choose to make a gift to USAO, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Contributions have an immediate and profound impact on students, faculty, staff, and programs.
Unrestricted Gifts
USAO General Fund is the primary vehicle of support to the university. It enables USAO’s leaders the flexibility to meet a variety of needs.
Directed Gifts
You may choose to designate your gift to a specific school or program, scholarship, or priority area at the university. When you make a directed gift to USAO, you enjoy the satisfaction of knowing your gift is supporting a program that is personally meaningful for you.
Endowments
Endowments are the gifts that keep on giving. An endowed fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding. Endowment assets are invested, and each year, the interest generated from the fund is used to support the fund’s purpose. When you establish an endowment, you create a permanent legacy of support for USAO.
Bequests
Bequests enable you to leave your legacy to benefit USAO in your will. By making your bequest intent known in advance, we can plan for the future and recognize your generosity during your lifetime.
