As Buckeyes, we are caring for our communities.

Each year, Buckeyes for Charity provides an opportunity for faculty, staff and retirees to support statewide nonprofit organizations and make a difference in the lives of Ohioans.

Make your 2026 Buckeyes for Charity pledge today!

The Ohio State community has supported our neighbors across Ohio through Buckeyes for Charity since 1997. During that time, more than $28 million has been donated to nonprofit organizations throughout the state as part of the campaign. This year we have another chance to help our communities and contribute to Ohio State’s land-grant mission.

This year’s campaign includes nearly 650 nonprofits from across Ohio. You can donate to a meaningful cause via credit card, check, cash or payroll deduction and choose to make a one-time or recurring donation. Donate by November 3.
