Supporting the Dialogue Between Art and Technology
Since 1963, the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) has treated advanced computing not just as a tool, but as an expressive medium and an integral part of the human experience. Your support sustains a collaborative space where artists, designers, and computer scientists dissolve traditional boundaries to invent new creative methods, tools, and practices.

Making the Abstract Felt
Donations to the ACCAD Focused Fund directly support the people, resources, and spaces that turn research questions into tangible human experiences. Your gifts help maintain experimental labs, fund essential student travel to industry milestones like SIGGRAPH, and support the open-source creative tools created by our community.
At ACCAD, we assemble around complex questions rather than academic departments. Our physical spaces bring together expertise from the arts, sciences, medicine, and civic institutions to build unexpected research teams. Support of this fund ensures that our students and faculty have the resources to keep asking.
Double Your Impact: Company Match
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is eligible, the impact of your gift to The Ohio State University may be doubled or possibly tripled. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
Dedicated Support and Custom Giving
