T. Boone Pickens Foundation Donates $120 Million to Oklahoma State

Boone Pickens’ generosity is living on even after his 2019 passing, as his foundation this week made a whopping $120 million donation to Oklahoma State University, OSU president Dr. Kayse Shrum said Tuesday in a story broke by The Oklahoman.

The donation from the T. Boone Pickens Foundation pushes the late Pickens’ total combined giving to the university and the athletic department past the $600 million mark and to about $650 million, OSU senior associate AD Kevin Klintworth said.

“Even today, almost four years after his death, he continues to make an impact for good through the generosity of his foundation,” Shrum told The Oklahoman in a statement.
