Give a Hoot Day

Give A Hoot Day lasts for 36 hours, beginning at midnight on Wednesday, April 22 and continuing through Thursday, April 23 at noon. During this time, you can make a gift, double your impact through matching funds, and participate in challenges.

Matches and challenges are special opportunities that help your gift go further.

• Matches mean that a donor has pledged to match gifts dollar-for-dollar up to a certain amount, so your donation can have double the impact. Matches are available on a first-come, first-served basis while funds last, so giving early makes a big difference.
• Challenges are unlocked when a goal is reached, such as a certain number of donors or dollars raised, which releases additional funds for that group.

We would love to have your support as a Give A Hoot Day match or challenge donor! To set up a match or challenge, please contact:

Yes. Gifts made to the Oregon Tech Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a receipt for your records after making your donation.

We will be counting gifts a week in advance of Give A Hoot Day as well as during the official 36-hour event. You can make your gift early, but gifts made during the official 36-hour event are eligible for matches and challenges, so giving during the event has the greatest impact.

The minimum gift amount is $5 to cover transaction costs on our online donation platform. 

Every gift directly supports the fund you choose, helping provide scholarships, equipment, travel opportunities, program support, and hands-on experiences for Oregon Tech students.
