THE OHIO FOUNDATION OF

Establish a strong volunteer network of business/industry and college/university professionals to conduct an annual solicitation program that provides unrestricted distributions to ohio independent colleges and universities. Unrestricted contributions to ofic are distributed in entirety to the 33 ofic-member colleges and universities in accordance with a distribution formula that requires 60% of the total to be divided equally and 40% of the total to be based upon each member's full-time and full-time equivalent undergraduate enrollments. This is an important source of financial support for our members, allowing them to apply it to areas of greatest need and enabling them to rely on sources other than just tuition to support costs associated with providing an accessible, quality education.
