The Buckeye Philanthropic Club is a student‑run organization dedicated to empowering students of all majors with the knowledge and confidence to invest responsibly. We believe financial literacy is a form of community strength, and we exist to make investing accessible, collaborative, and meaningful.
Our mission is simple: learn together, invest together, give together.
What We Do
Investment Education for Everyone
We teach new members the fundamentals of investing through workshops, peer‑led sessions, guest speakers, and hands‑on practice. No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Our educational topics include:
Understanding stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds
Reading financial statements
Risk management and diversification
Long‑term vs. short‑term strategies
Ethical and socially responsible investing
A Student‑Managed Portfolio
Members collaborate to research, debate, and select investments for our club portfolio. This real‑world experience helps students build practical skills while working as a team.
The best part: all profits generated from our portfolio are donated to a nonprofit organization in the Columbus community. Our goal is to use financial knowledge not just for personal growth, but for social good.
Our Philanthropic Mission
We believe investing can be a tool for positive change. Each year, members nominate and vote on a Columbus‑area nonprofit to receive the club’s portfolio profits.
Our values:
Community impact
Transparency in decision‑making
Service‑driven financial education
Collaboration across majors and backgrounds
Looking Ahead
The Buckeye Philanthropic Club is committed to expanding our educational offerings, growing our portfolio responsibly, and increasing our annual charitable impact. As we continue to innovate and collaborate, our vision remains clear: use financial knowledge to strengthen our community.
We invite you to learn, invest, and give back with us!
