Ways to Give
Annual Fund - Contributions made to the Ohio Bobcat Club annual fund are crucial for the future success of Ohio Athletics. The contributions help offset the cost of student-athlete scholarships and other student-athlete expenses to the department each year. Increasing annual contributions to the Ohio Bobcat Club is the highest priority.
You can make your annual contribution to the Ohio Bobcat Club by cash, check (Made payable to The Ohio University Foundation), or credit (Visa, American Express, Mastercard) in three ways!

Payroll Deduction - Ohio University employees can give back to the university in the easiest and most convenient way possible by filling out a Payroll Deduction form.
Matching Gifts - The Ohio Bobcat Club is a recognized 501(c)(3) organization making it eligible for many company's matching gift programs. Find out if your company has a matching gift program and maximize the impact of your contribution to the Ohio Bobcat Club.
Gift-in-kind - Make a contribution of goods or services for charitable gift credit. Gifts-in-kind must be properly appraised through the donor's efforts.
Planned Gifts - These are charitable contributions made by using some form of estate planning device. Legal advisors on staff can assist with planned giving.
Stock Transfer/E-Trade - Gifts of appreciated securities are a great way to transmit assets to Ohio University as charitable contributions. Regardless of the method of transferring stock, as per IRS regulations, the value of the stock gift is calculated on the date the transfer is received by Ohio University or its broker. Similarly, the value is calculated as the average of the high and low price on the date the transfer was received by the university or its broker, not the date it was sent. Donors need to specify and confirm in writing the designation(s) for the gift, ideally before the stock transfer is made.
