We invest in what matters most to Ohioans 

Our student-first philosophy shows in the way we support initiatives across the college. New teaching, research and Extension facilities at Waterman and in Wooster, plus strong support for Ohio 4-H, gives students and communities an edge. 

Your philanthropy helps us: 

  • Grow scholarship and hands-on learning experiences.
  • Complete and equip modern greenhouses, science buildings and animal learning facilities.
  • Expand outreach that serves youth, families and producers in every county.
  • Public funding generously supports our college. But your gift closes the gap and helps our college prepare tomorrow’s workforce.
