GTSF

The Development Committee acts as the student liaisons to the rest of campus, educates students on the purpose of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation, and encourages student participation.

The mission of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation is to foster and promote the spirit of philanthropy and the need to support Georgia Tech through our contributions of time and money. The Development Committee of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation represents the chief vehicle of this mission. The committee represents the public relations and marketing arm of the organization in which student participation from the student body is encouraged. Development Committee members take an active role in educating students and student organizations about the mission and vision of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation through the campaign and various programs. The Development Committee also raises student contributions for the endowment, which through the Investments Committee, is invested, generating the funds in which the Allocations Committee can make allocations to new student groups and initiatives across campus.

Throughout the year, the Committee gives informational presentations to student organizations, encouraging students to participate with the student foundation. The three ways that a student can participate with the Georgia Tech Student Foundation include joining a committee, making a gift or submitting an allocations application. The Development Committee meets every Tuesday night at 8pm at the Alumni House, so please come join and be a part of GTSF. The committee is open to all students, and assists students in their public speaking skills and allows them to meet new students.

A gift to Student Foundation helps GT Students to begin the tradition of giving as a student and to get a head start on your consecutive years of giving to the Alumni Associations annual Roll Call. One perk of giving to the Roll Call is that with a minimum gift of $5 students may receive one athletic point for every consecutive year that you give as a student. Athletic points secure great seating at GT football games and other athletic events as an alumnus. As a student if you miss a year of giving to the Student Foundation, you can buyback a missing year and restore your consecutive years of giving for only $25. As an alumnus it costs $100 to buyback missing years.
