Give students what they need to succeed. Starting with the basics.
As more students face unexpected financial strain, basic needs can feel out of reach. Your support provides immediate relief, offering meals, stability, and peace of mind.
When you make a donation through the Columbus State Foundation to either Basic Needs or Mid-Ohio Market, we can make your gift go further. Every dollar donated helps us supply almost $5 of groceries.
A gift of $10 provides 25 meals
A gift of $25 provides 60 meals
A gift of $50 provides 125 meals
