OFIC Donor Giving Record Update Project

Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges (OFIC) connects donors and partners with students in
need, positively impacting Ohio’s economic engine. We partner with corporations and foundations to
help keep education affordable through scholarships, internships, and career opportunities. This
internship will support OFIC’s Development Team. The goal of this internship is to better the accuracy
of OFIC data to bolster stewardship and donor relations. With accurate data on donors, we can build
and steward relationships to maintain and grow those connections. This leads to an increase in
funding for all of our member campuses and institutions.
