Together, we can create champions in the classroom and the community.
Featured Fund for Day of Giving
The Champions Fund supports the Department of Athletics' greatest needs, including student-athlete grant-in-aid and the overall student-athlete experience.
Why Your Gift Matters
Serving over 1,000 student-athletes across 36 sports, Ohio State Athletics is one of the most visible, respected and accomplished programs in the country, yet the Department of Athletics does not receive university monies, tax dollars or student fees. With the critical support of Buckeye Nation – our fans, corporate partners and donors like you – the department can continue to field the country’s largest, public university athletics program without funding from tax or tuition dollars. Every dollar you give supports the success of our student-athletes and the Circle of Care that surrounds them.
Impact in Action
Your investment makes a meaningful difference for student-athletes, helping to provide them with a best-in-class environment for academic, athletic and personal growth. As Senior Women's Golfer Kary Hollenbaugh shares, "Thank you so much for proving us student-athletes all the opportunities to become the best athletes and people we can be. We are so lucky to represent THE Ohio State University, and it wouldn’t be possible without all of your support."
About the Department of Athletics
Ohio State Athletics focuses on the Circle of Care — a comprehensive, well-resourced support system that ensures student-athletes receive top-notch care and guidance in areas such as physical and mental wellness, academic achievement, athletic success and career preparation. Supported by the Champions Fund, these efforts aim to help student-athletes become champions in all their pursuits— academically, athletically and in life.
