Help us plant seeds for stronger communities, sustainable farms and thriving ecosystems.
Featured Fund for Day of Giving
The Ohio State University Fund for CFAES is the college’s main flexible fund. It gives CFAES the ability to respond quickly to emerging needs and opportunities for innovation. This support can go wherever it’s needed most, including students, faculty, research, facilities or community programs.
Why Your Gift Matters
Because of its unrestricted nature, this fund touches every part of the college. Your gift can help support student experiences, launch new research initiatives, strengthen Extension programs, or enhance facilities that shape learning and discovery. Expanding this fund helps the college stay nimble and meet emerging needs. That flexibility is essential for continuing to dream bigger and advance work that benefits Ohio and beyond.
