About

For as little as $18.04 to any fund on the OHIO Giving Day site, name an iconic College Green squirrel.

You asked for it, you got it: the chance to Name a Squirrel is BACK for OHIO Giving Day 2025!

Last year, more than 1,000 Bobcats named one of our iconic College Green squirrels on Giving Day. We LOVED seeing your creative names, from the sweet to the downright silly. You had so much fun, we got literal fan mail about it. And when you get fan mail about a fundraising campaign, well, you bring it back—bigger, better and bushier-tailed than ever.

NAME A SQUIRREL

Make a gift of $18.04 or more to any featured fund on Giving Day and let us know what you’d like to name your squirrel. You’ll receive a handsome digital certificate complete with your Sciurus carolinensis' new moniker. This professionally designed certificate is suitable for printing, framing and/or gifting. (Psst: college acceptance or graduation gift, anyone?)
