Gift Recognition

It is virtually impossible for us to continue to make progress in teaching, research, and service without the continuing support of our faculty, alumni and friends. We appreciate this investment in our future and we recognize their contributions in several ways:

Naming Opportunities

One of the ways we recognize our donors is through the naming of endowed funds established in support of College scholarships, faculty chairs, professorships, and other vital programs. Another way we thank donors is through the naming of buildings, laboratories, classrooms, and other facilities in honor of those who make substantial gifts in support of needed programs and facilities.

The Presidents Club

This is The Ohio State University's largest and most prestigious major donor recognition group. Established in 1963 and part of The Office of University Development, The Presidents Club roster carries the names of more than 9,000 individuals, corporations, businesses and organizations who have made major gifts--undesignated or designated--to Ohio State.
