Support Founders Day of Giving, March 24-26 

Posted Mar 25, 2026

Otterbein’s Founders Day of Giving honors the generations of Cardinals who came before us — and invites us to invest in those who are here now.  

Our 48‑hour giving challenge is about more than raising funds. It’s about participation, pride, and shared purpose. When alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students give together, we create momentum that strengthens scholarships, fuels academic and co‑curricular experiences, and ensures Otterbein remains a college of opportunity. 

You can support what matters most to you — and your gift may be matched or help unlock a challenge, increasing its impact. 

Together, we can shape the future of Otterbein. Together. For Every Cardinal! 

A key feature of Founders Day of Giving every year is the use of matches and challenges, which amplify impact and motivate participation: 

  • Donors may match gifts dollar‑for‑dollar up to a set amount
  • Challenge gifts are unlocked when participation or dollar goals are met
  • Alumni classes, teams, or affinity groups often rally together
