Capitol Square Foundation

The Capitol Square Foundation was established in 1987 to increase public awareness of and to involve citizens in the history of the Ohio Statehouse. Its purpose is to raise funds to obtain, restore and maintain artifacts and other items related to the history and enhancement of this grand monument and its adjoining grounds, so that the seat of Ohio's government may reflect the dignity of the state and its citizens.

The Capitol Square Foundation is not a state agency and receives no government funding. It is incorporated in Ohio as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization under the Internal Revenue Service. Any personal or corporate donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent under the law.

Funders

Funding of the Ohio Statehouse Museum is the result of a public/private partnership. The Museum has primarily been made possible by private contributors through a capital campaign entitled “Enriching the Experience.” The capital campaign was managed by the Capitol Square Foundation under the leadership of Board Chairman, Charles Moses. The Capitol Square Foundation has raised more than $2.25 million for the Enriching the Experience capital campaign.

The Capitol Square Foundation and Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board are grateful for the support the Museum project has received from the state of Ohio and the private sector. By enriching the experience of its visitors, the Statehouse becomes a more special place for all Ohioans for generations to come.
