Institute Priorities & Needs
The past decade has seen Georgia Tech become a significant player on the national and global stages. Never before has Georgia Tech been so well positioned to become a university the nation looks to for advice, new ideas, and talent.
Much of our momentum is at risk if we do not find additional resources. State budget cuts and competition for our resources have multiplied our challenges. We must increasingly turn to private philanthropy in order to meet human needs as we continue to build a better state, nation, and world. Your support is vital. If we continue at our current trajectory, there is no doubt that very soon we will emerge as one of the world's most inventive institutions.
Unrestricted Giving
Unrestricted funds help Georgia Tech respond to pressing university needs and capture new opportunities. Through this critically important form of giving, you can enable Tech's leaders to take full advantage of opportunities and address challenges in a timely manner.
Students & Faculty
Attracting and retaining the most talented students, faculty, and research staff has made Georgia Tech the global leader it is today. From student scholarships to faculty professorships, your gift can make an impact on people's lives, whether directed to a specific college, school, or program.
Colleges, Schools & Programs
Georgia Tech encourages the exploration of new ideas both inside and outside of the traditional classroom. From support for international initiatives to aid for athletic programs, you can help push the boundaries of knowledge and learning as we add new programs and enhance existing ones to guide, inform, and challenge the Tech community.
International Initiatives
Georgia Tech's educational and research enterprises have expanded tremendously in recent years. Your gift can support one of Tech's international campuses or strengthen the programs that provide invaluable international education and work experiences to faculty and students.
Facilities & Equipment
At Georgia Tech, facilities are more than just bricks and mortar. They are the state-of-the-art environments in which students, faculty, and staff hone and develop their talents. Your support can provide the room for their ideas to grow into the creative applications that will shape the future.
Endowment & Current Operations
Endowments are highly important to Georgia Tech. In an era of undependable state support, endowments create a strong financial foundation for student, faculty, and program success. Through endowments, you can create scholarships and fellowships for our highly talented students, support our world-renowned faculty members through professorships and chairs, and provide support for our outstanding programs.
Intercollegiate Athletics
The Alexander-Tharpe Fund raises funds for scholarships to support Georgia Tech's student-athletes.
Annual Roll Call
A Tech tradition for nearly sixty years, the annual Roll Call provides you the opportunity to support a critical yet often overlooked aspect of the Tech campus: current operations. In addition to supporting basic, ongoing maintenance needs, your gift to Roll Call also provides student scholarships and financial aid, faculty and student recruitment initiatives, and new academic programs.
Reunion Giving
Georgia Tech classes celebrating their 25th, 40th, and 50th reunions designate specific projects to receive their support in honor of their milestone class reunion.
Gifts in Honor or Memory
Honor the memory of a deceased loved one through a memorial gift. Your gift will stand as a permanent reminder of the impact the honoree made during his or her lifetime.
