Making a Gift

Giving to Georgia Tech is a decision that will have an impact. With your support, Georgia Tech can help students and faculty achieve the dreams of a lifetime, honor friends, support cutting-edge research, and build state-of-the-art research facilities.

Gift Planning

Gift-Planning Process

Gift planning begins with your desire to want to make a gift—whether a lifetime gift or an estate gift. Gift plans are as unique as the donors who create them. A gift plan can help you decide what assets to give, how to give them, and when to do so.

Outright Gifts

Outright (Immediate) Gifts

Outright gifts are immediate gifts, and the simplest form of giving to Tech and can be done by check, pledge, corporate matching gift, wire transfer, or credit card.
