Each year, Ohio State Buckeyes for Charity provides an opportunity for faculty, staff, and retirees to support statewide nonprofit organizations. Through Nov. 4, this is your opportunity to join other Buckeyes to make a difference in the lives of Ohioans by donating conveniently one-time or through payroll deduction.
Buckeyes for Charity includes more than 850 nonprofit organizations across the state of Ohio. Causes include food security, health and wellness programming and services, housing, animal welfare, education, advocacy programs or environment.
We believe that this year’s campaign theme “Caring for Our Communities” is something that is already a part of what we do every day at CFAES. We have a presence in each one of Ohio’s 88 counties and engage with Ohioans young and old through programming and service. This is a great opportunity for us to show these nonprofit partners that we support them and we care. Donations of any amount can make a difference; and across Ohio State, we raise more than $1 million a year to help those in need. Make your pledge or learn more at buckeyesforcharity.osu.edu.
