Gifts That Make An Impact Now

To support Georgia State University’s current work, make a gift online or by mail: Georgia State University Foundation, Inc., PO Box 3963, Atlanta, GA 30302-3963

You can use your donor-advised fund (DAF) to make a one-time gift or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift to advance the university’s mission throughout the year.

You can conveniently initiate a grant from your DAF using the link below. Simply type in the name of your fund sponsor and the system will prompt you through the process.

When you give a memorial or tribute gift to Georgia State to honor someone special, you’re expressing your love, admiration and gratitude in one of the most meaningful ways there is. Your gift will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute and open up a world of opportunity for future Panthers.

You can use stocks, bonds and mutual funds that have appreciated in value to support of our shared mission of removing barriers to achievement, providing support and creating opportunities to future generations of Panthers. You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to a maximum of 30 percent of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock.

Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf Georgia State? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. Donate a pool of funds to the Georgia State University Foundation, from which we will match any donation made within a given period of time. In this way, the value of your gift is doubled.
