Welcome to the 2025 Buckeyes for Charity campaign! 

Since 1997, our faculty, staff and retirees have contributed more than $27 million to our community through the annual Buckeyes for Charity campaign. In 2025, we have another opportunity to support Ohio’s nonprofits through this important annual initiative. Helping our neighbors and communities during this campaign is a meaningful demonstration of Ohio State’s land-grant mission.

We know Buckeyes want to make a difference in their neighborhoods, hometowns and other places they hold close. Through Buckeyes for Charity, you can choose from nearly 700 partner Ohio nonprofits. Programs and services provided by these agencies focus on food security, health and wellness, housing, animal welfare, education, advocacy programs, the environment and much more.

If you would like to donate, please choose a cause important to you and make your pledge by November 3, 2025.
