Giving Back
Show Your Support
Have you ever thought of becoming a partner with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering or wondered how to get involved in the dynamic and diverse Ohio State experience? Becoming a partner gives you the opportunity to address business needs, drive positive change, and give back to the community. As a partner, you will gain valuable visibility on campus as an important benefactor.
Please consider supporting the educational mission of our
department. Scholarships, endowed chairs, equipment donations,
and capital improvement funds are just a few of the ways to give
and partner. Contact
Deborah Schoeder, Director of Development, to discuss the
many options available to
you. Sincere thanks to the alumni and friends who are making
regular contributions to department gift funds.
Did You Know?
-
Cash is often the most convenient form of giving. Cash gifts are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes, provided deductions are itemized.
-
Pledges enable a donor to plan a personal giving program that is both convenient and tax-wise. A pledge may enable a donor to consider a more significant gift than would have otherwise been possible.
-
Securities may be made as outright gifts or as a payment on a pledge. Stock certificates may be reassigned or transferred.
-
Planned giving allows you to leave a legacy by making a charitable gift now or from your estate.
-
Endowed funds are a dependable and perpetual source of support, since the principal is invested and only a portion of the earnings is spent annually.
-
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. To see if your company has a matching gift policy, visit the Matching Gift web area.
-
Honoring a family member, friend, colleague, classmate, or faculty member with a gift is a touching way to pay tribute to that loved one.
-
Alternatives to monetary gifts such as equipment or books are always appreciated
