Duck Difference
Known for innovation, national branding and broad-based excellence, Oregon Athletics is among the most recognized athletic departments in the country … but the DUCK DIFFERENCE is in the PEOPLE.
student-athletes • donors • coaches • fans • administrators • DUCKS!

The Duck Athletic Fund is the fundraising arm of Oregon Athletics, responsible for generating revenue through philanthropic support to ensure 450 Oregon student-athletes have the opportunity to compete as champions in the classroom, in competition and in the community.
In order to achieve ambitious goals, invest in every student-athlete and generate the success we love to celebrate, Oregon Athletics relies heavily on philanthropic gifts to the Duck Athletic Fund. Through the generosity, compassion and loyalty of donors like you, we share the magic of Autzen Stadium on a Saturday, a buzzer beater in Matthew Knight Arena and the countless success stories of Oregon student-athletes who represent the UO in the Eugene community and around the world.
