Support what matters most to you on Giving Day 2023

Since 1804, Ohio University has been preparing students for successful careers that shape the world. On Giving Day 2023, you can help today's students access experiences that will ensure their success.

Academics are at the heart of the OHIO experience, and our faculty challenge students academically while helping them grow personally. There are countless opportunities to support today's Bobcats within our academic colleges, from scholarships to hands-on educational experiences that fuel success beyond graduation. Give today to the college, unit or fund that you care about most and share in the OHIO experience.

Provost Elizabeth Sayrs has a challenge for Ohio University Bobcats! She is matching donations to the Experiential Learning Fund dollar-for-dollar, up to $2,500 on Giving Day. Let’s come together to maximize this additional financial assistance, and make a real difference in the lives of OHIO students. The Experiential Learning Fund provides great opportunities for our students and community, with real-world experience and knowledge that will benefit them after graduation. Donate now and double your impact!
