Support the Museum
The Museum of Biological Diversity relies on the generous support of our donors to make many things possible for our students and faculty. Your giving supports classes, research, collection upkeep, and outreach events. Please consider making a gift today. Thank you!
Company Match
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is eligible, the impact of your gift to The Ohio State University may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
Contact
How and where you choose to make your philanthropic impact is a very personal decision. Contact Rick Harrison to explore giving opportunities that match your interests, legacy giving, or endowment funds.
