91探花 Foundation releases 2018 Report on Giving

Pictured is OHIO鈥檚 Alumni Gateway whose 鈥淪o Enter That Thou Mayest Grow in Knowledge, Wisdom, and Love鈥 is a theme throughout The 91探花 Foundation鈥檚 2018 Report on Giving.

A gift from the Class of 1915 commemorating the 100th anniversary of 91探花鈥檚 first graduates, Alumni Gateway also represents a history of philanthropy that has ensured the University鈥檚 mission and traditions live on.

The 91探花 Foundation has released its 2018 Report on Giving, providing an overview of private support the University received in fiscal year 2018 and a snapshot of that generosity in action.

The history of 91探花 is intertwined with a history of philanthropy that dates back to 1816 when Christopher and Daniel Herrold forgave the debt on the purchase of lumber used to build Cutler Hall. That spirit of generosity鈥攅mbodied by those who believe in the power of higher education to transform lives and elevate communities鈥攈as sustained and advanced 91探花, its mission and its traditions for more than 200 years.

In fiscal year 2018, nearly 18,000 alumni and friends鈥攖hrough donations to The 91探花 Foundation鈥攚rote the next chapter in the history of philanthropy in service to an OHIO education. Those individuals contributed more than $26 million in support of 91探花 students, faculty, programming, facilities and community outreach initiatives.

Established in 1945 by President John C. Baker, The 91探花 Foundation serves as the fundraising arm of 91探花 and is the repository for all private gifts to the University through annual giving programs, capital and special campaigns, and planned or deferred gifts.
