Grow Oakland is a new tool to connect donors with projects that inspire them.
Grow Oakland exists for crowdfunding projects that benefit the Oakland University community and mission.

Some past projects include:
- $5,000 for a hoop house at the Student Organic Farm
- $10,000 for travel to a competition in England for the OU Brass Band
- Over $11,000 for OU student organizations and club sports
OU has tools you can use to make the process easy and fun!
Oakland University staff work with project leaders to create a plan and a personalized crowdfunding page so project leaders can concentrate on spreading the word and running a successful campaign!
