The Office of University Development
Beginning with a gift of 361 acres from the Neil family to establish Ohio State in 1870, private support has been invaluable to the university's mission of providing top-quality education and service to residents of Ohio, and improving the quality of life for everyone.
The mission of The Ohio State University Office of University Development is to attain private philanthropic funding from alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations. Through the Ohio State University Foundation, its board of directors, a national corps of volunteers, and university administrators, faculty, and staff, the Office of University Development organizes and coordinates all fundraising programs for the university in support of the academic mission and objectives of the university as determined by the academic leadership of the institution.
Ohio State's primary gift receiving organization is The Ohio State University Foundation, incorporated in 1985. The foundation is governed by a board of 56 members and is led by the Senior Vice President of Development, Jeff M.S. Kaplan, who reports to the president of the university, E. Gordon Gee. Also at the helm of the foundation board is the Senior Associate Vice President of Development, Floyd Akins. It is with the aid of the foundation board that Ohio State is able to thrive in all it does.
