The good news was that the State of Oregon had committed significant funds to the undertaking. The challenge was that the state’s contribution was to arrive in the form of matching funds – i.e., Oregon Tech needed to raise $40 million in order to receive the state money.

Working closely with the office of advancement, we wove together Oregon Tech’s success stories with the goals of the campaign, and in so doing helped donors understand the role they could play in taking the strengths of the university to all-new heights. It worked—the campaign crossed the finish line well ahead of schedule.
