Gifts to the Endowment Fund advance the mission of the Alumni Association and maintain and upgrade the Longaberger Alumni House, the showcase where alumni, students, and friends in lifelong support of Ohio State and each other.

When Ohio State’s first alumni returned to campus in 1879, they established an organization to foster an attachment among graduates to one another and the university. For more than 130 years, the Ohio State University Alumni Association has continued the mission of connecting alumni, students, and friends in lifelong support of Ohio State and each other.

You have an opportunity to support this mission and show generations to come what Ohio State means to you. By donating to the Alumni Association Endowment Fund, you can work on behalf of Ohio State through programs ranging from advocacy and scholarships to alumni tours.
