Georgia Tech Giving Day

From noon EDT on March 12, 2024, to 9 p.m. EDT on March 13, 2024, the whole Tech community will come together to support Georgia Tech. For 33 hours, Yellow Jackets from far and wide will show their Georgia Tech pride while supporting vital scholarships, providing funds for student needs, and helping to enhance student-focused programs. 

Matches and challenges help your gifts on Georgia Tech Giving Day make an even bigger impact. Check GTgives.org during the event on March 12-13 to see updates and new opportunities for your gift to go even further. A complete list of matches and challenges will be on the Challenges page, and active matches and challenges can be viewed at GTgives.org. 

The campaign kicks off officially at noon EDT Tuesday, March 12, 2024, and closes at 9 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, March 13, 2024.  

Visit GTgives.org from noon on Tuesday, March 12 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13 to participate. 

Because Georgia Tech Giving Day is a live, online giving campaign, we strongly encourage you to make your gift online. This is the only way to assure your gift will qualify for matches and challenges taking place throughout the event. To give by phone, you may call 404-385-4483 (GIVE) during the event, but we cannot guarantee these gifts will count toward matches and challenges. 

Thousands of companies match gifts to higher education, which can double or even triple your gift. To find out if your employer (or your spouse's employer) has a matching gift program, please visit gtalumni.org/matchinggift. If so, please contact your Human Resources representative for a matching gift form. You may need to provide the Georgia Tech Foundation Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the form: 58-6043294. 

Share your stories and images using the hashtag #GTgives to help spread the word on social! The GTgives.org homepage will be constantly updated throughout the day to show messages and images from across the Tech community.  

You can also become a Georgia Tech Giving Day Ambassador, sharing messages and creating excitement before and during the event. Spread awareness within your network and encourage others to join you in giving back to Tech (for more information see “What Is an Ambassador?”). 

Giving on Georgia Tech Giving Day benefits current and future students by providing much needed financial support, illustrates the awesome collective power of the Tech community, and is a great way to show your Georgia Tech pride. 

There are also opportunities throughout the day to amplify your gift immediately! Thanks to our generous lead donors, there will be special opportunities for your gifts to be matched, doubling the impact of your investment. There will also be exciting challenges taking place throughout the day. 

Ambassadors are Georgia Tech Giving Day’s digital leaders who reach out to their network, share messages, and create excitement before and during the event. With an investment of a few hours, Ambassadors help spread awareness—reaching out to their network by email, text, phone, and/or social media to ask fellow Tech alums and friends to participate in Giving Day. If you are interested in becoming an Ambassador, you can register online or email rollcall@alumni.gatech.edu with questions.
