Support Ohio State Through Your Will or Living Trust
An Easy Way to Deepen Your Connection
Did you know you can make an impact at Ohio State without opening your checkbook? A gift in your will or living trust, also called a bequest, is an effective and flexible way to support the future of our students, faculty and programs.
With as little as one sentence, you can create your gift. This type of donation to The Ohio State University Foundation helps ensure that we continue our mission to provide accessible and meaningful education for years to come.
Payments for Life
Your payments depend on your age at the time of the donation. If you are younger than 60, we recommend that you learn more about your options and download this FREE guide Plan for Retirement With a Deferred Gift Annuity.
An Example of How It Works
Meet Tom and Martha. When they got married and created a will, they included a $75,000 gift to The Ohio State University Foundation. As the family grew to include three children, Tom and Martha decided to revise their gift to ensure their children's future financial security.
They met with their attorney and revised the gift language so that The Ohio State University Foundation received a percentage of their estate, instead of a specific amount. Tom and Martha now rest easy knowing their plans will provide for the people and charitable work they love.
