The 1804 Society, deriving its name from the founding date of Ohio University, was created to honor individuals and families who have documented or created a planned gift with The Ohio University Foundation. Membership is extended to donors who have made planned gifts of any amount. Through charitable giving, the members of the 1804 Society are laying the foundation for future generations, just as the founders laid the bricks that built Ohio University more than 200 years ago. Planned gifts leave an everlasting impression on our students, campus and faculty, and help secure our legacy as an exceptional institution of higher learning.
