The President’s Associates Program is the single most successful private support program in the history of the University. President’s Associates provide unrestricted funding that allows President Boren to deal with critical issues and pursue initiatives that enrich OU’s academic mission. Because donors can designate half of their gift to a favorite college or program, Associates funds provide the same kind of opportunities to OU deans and program directors.
Since its beginning in 1979, the Associates Program has been integral to OU’s success in areas ranging from the National Merit Scholars Program to the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms.
Associates represent a major force in funding the Presidential Professorship Program, sponsoring outstanding professors on both the Norman and Health Sciences Center campuses through the program’s Second Century Endowment, created through gifts at the Life and Endowed Associate levels.
Benefits of joining the President's Associates include:
- Invitations to dinners hosted by President and Mrs. Boren and featuring national and international dignitaries
- Participation in regional special events
- Members-only 30 percent discount on OU clothing and other items at OU Authenic team store on Campus Corner
- OU library privileges
- Subscription to the Boren Inside Report
- Guest parking permits for the Norman Campus, including gamedays
- Invitations to pre-game football activities
- Discounted hotel room rates, gameday brunch and police-escorted busses for annual OU-Texas football weekend in Dallas - Complimentary subscription to Sooner Magazine
- Listing in the President’s Associates directory, published annually
Now, your donation can benefit the OU Club of Houston Scholarship Program.
You can now take one-half of your annual contribution and designate it to fund the OU Club of Houston Scholarship program. For example, if you join the President’s Associates at the “Annual Associate” level, you can designate $500 of the $1,000 annual donation to the OU Club Scholarship program.
When you join or renew, just designate "OU Club of Houston, # 31625."
Does Your Company Match? Many employers will match donations at a rate of 1:1 and sometimes as high as 3:1. As an example, a company matches at a rate of 1:1 means your $1,000 gift only requires $500 from you and $500 from the company.
The ½ Designation When you make your gift, just mark the box stating you would like to “designate one-half of my annual gift to” and write OU Club of Houstonand the number: 31625.
