Support Former Foster Youth at OSU!
Making a Difference.

More than 270 current OSU students have self-identified as having aged out of the foster care system. The Daybreak Fund provides financial support for students encountering unexpected expenses (e.g. medical, living expenses, emergencies, or academic needs). Contributions to this fund will go directly to students in need, ensuring that they can focus on what matters most - staying at OSU and finishing their degree.
When you support the Daybreak Fund, you help shape the future for former foster youth that currently attend or aspire to attend OSU in the future. By making a donation during Give Orange, you help make our future a brighter orange!
