Support Freshman Foundation, the branch of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation (GTSF) for first-year students, and get the chance to pie a member of Freshman Foundation! Look for Freshman Foundation representatives to make your contribution to GTSF and for your chance to pie a rookie Yellow Jacket.
This year, GTSF issued a challenge to Freshman Foundation: collect 200 donations from the freshman class. Freshman Foundation needs your help in order to reach and exceed this goal, and to uphold the long tradition of giving back and supporting Georgia Tech. Freshman Foundation will host a series of events on campus to reward students for making a $5 donation and supporting the freshman class. Freshman Foundation will accept donations outside dining halls and at events throughout the week.
About GTSF:
GTSF is a collegiate foundation operated solely by students, including the development, investment and allocation of funds. The Foundation awards grants to student organizations and students whose ideas or projects enhance Georgia Tech. These grants are funded from an endowment that presently totals near $850,000. Members of GTSF raise funds to increase the organization's endowment, oversee a diverse portfolio in the stock market and allocate the interest and dividends to student projects. GTSF asks students to donate $5 each year to be redistributed back into student initiatives.
