About Dam Proud Day
Mark your calendar: April 29, 2026, is Dam Proud Day! This 24-hour giving day unites Beavers worldwide to celebrate Oregon State University, connect with each other and support the areas they care about most at OSU while unlocking challenge funds for an even greater impact.
First started in 2019, Dam Proud Day has become a special occasion that supercharges the passion and generosity of Beavers worldwide — and regularly breaks fundraising records. Last year, Beavers together made gifts to 368 funds totaling more than $3.2 million.
You choose the areas you want to support. With more than 80% of projects directly supporting student needs, every gift prepares the next generation of Beavers to tackle pressing challenges and contribute profoundly to communities across the state and world.
