265 Million Reasons to say "Thank You!"

Posted: 

Drive, drive on down the field, engineers of the scarlet & gray

The College of Engineering’s goal is to raise $350 million during the university’s But for Ohio State campaign, which is a $2.5 billion fundraising endeavor that invites those who believe in Ohio State to invest in our students, our faculty and our potential. Overall, the university has raised $1.99 billion* so far.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni, friends and partners, the College of Engineering is charging down the field, and has raised $265 million*. Supporters are helping us secure educational opportunities for future generations of students and meet the enormous challenges we face as a society. Together, we will sustain an enduring tradition of scholarship, service and pride. Our end zone is in sight and together we can—and will—smash through to victory!

Big plays:

  • College of Engineering alumni have donated 18% of the total $265 million raised, while other Buckeyes have contributed 5%.
     
  • Corporate, foundation and organization partners have given 74% ($195 million). This includes foundation giving that may be tied to alumni donors.
     
  • Buckeye engineering graduates of the 1960s ($18 million), 1980s ($13 million) and 1940s ($8 million) have given the most compared to classes from all other decades.
