The top ten funds are calculated by the number of donors to each fund. Incentives are offered thanks to the support of Oakland University Credit Union.

The OUFD encourages participation - every gift counts! Each donor will receive a ribbon to indicate their participation and are encouraged to display the ribbon in their office/workspace.

Units with the highest participation percentage, in both the Black Division and Gold Division, will be awarded with a traveling trophy. The Black Division is composed of units with 100 or more full time employees.The Gold Division is composed of units that have fewer than 100 full time employees.

Thanks to the generosity of Oakland University Credit Union, 2024 incentives will be offered based on the number of donors contributing to the fund.

Top Ten Funds:

1st-5th  $5,000 each
6th: $4,000
7th: $3,000
8th: $2,000
9th: $1,000
10th: $500

In the event of a tie, the funds will be split between the two funds (example: funds in places 7th and 8th are a tie, each fund gets $2,500)

Most Improved Fund, based on the increase in number of donors, will receive $2,500.

New Endowment Funds: the first five endowments created during OUFD will be recognized during Giving Day 2025 and awarded $1,000 to the spending fund.
