Georgia Tech Student Foundation

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 Campaign 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.

In the Fall the Development Committee presents "SF Fair" which is a week-long event that educates the campus of Georgia Tech about goodwill and the philanthropic mission of GTSF. 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 pledge, or submitting an allocations application. In Spring, the Committee holds "SF Week", another week long event that celebrates the benefits of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation and promotes contributions to GTSF campaign.

One perk of pledging to Student Foundation is that you receive one athletic point. By pledging to Student Foundation and 1st and 10 in the same year, you receive an extra half point, totaling 2.5 points. Athletic points secure great seating at GT football games as an alumni. Just think, $5 per point while an undergrad, and $100 per point once you have graduated!
