Meadow Brook Hall and the Grizz for OUFD Oakland University Fund Drive.

Support Meadow Brook for OUFD

Guests tour historic Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, Michigan.Support Meadow Brook for the annual Oakland University Fund Drive (OUFD). This special fund drive is an annual effort supported by the dedication of faculty, staff and retirees – Oakland University’s closest allies.

OUFD runs from Monday, Oct. 23, through Friday, Dec. 8, 2023.

As the birthplace of Oakland University, Meadow Brook (Fund #35122) is a place to learn, connect and be inspired. With a vibrant collection of tours, events, programs and experiences, it is a vital part of the campus community and the world beyond.

And there is so much more we can do. With your support, we can preserve and share this National Historic Landmark with future generations.

In 1929, it cost $4 million to build Meadow Brook Hall. Today, it takes nearly $4 million each year to keep the doors open-around $11,000 a day.

At Meadow Brook Hall, every dollar makes a difference. Your gift has an impact here.

We’re asking faculty, staff and retirees to help us preserve OU’s own National Historic Landmark with your 2023 OUFD gifts. Matilda would be grateful for your support.
