OU Daily Newsroom

OU Daily Newsroom on Sept. 5, 2024.

Friends of OU Student Media and the OU Daily, 

Please mark your calendar for an upcoming way to support the Daily.

WHAT: Annual OU Giving Day on April 14

OUR ASK: Whether with your time, dollars or other generosity, we hope you’ll contribute to our mission. Increasingly our donors give recurring pledges in the range of $14, which mirrors what OU students pay in annual fees that support the Daily, or $50, which is between ¼ and ½ the cost of paywalled local news alternatives. You can also help us compete in OU Foundation donor challenges that could add up to $1,500 to our accounts. 

WAYS TO GIVE:

1. Support the Becky Willis Memorial Fund for News Leadership, which generates a $1,250 leadership scholarship in addition to helping underwrite other student needs. 

2. Support the Stacy Wehrenberg Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund, which assists a student who knows significant adversity.

3. Purchase Daily merchandise.

4. We’re exploring the idea of an alumni fundraising board. If you’d be interested in contributing, tell us about your qualifications.  

TIMELINE: Gifts may be submitted April 1-14. 

Help sustain the success of the only independent student-run news organization that’s served OU/Norman — while forging generations of media professionals — since 1916. Contribute now
