You did it!

After all gifts were tallied, your generosity powered GSU to a new Georgia State Day fundraising record and our first $1 million giving day! Thank you! Thank you! A million times, thank you!


This historic achievement shows the GSU community’s deep commitment to the university’s mission and students. It also provides Panthers with more resources vital to their success.


You cared and you gave, and you made GSU history for supporting students. You deserve a hand.



In acknowledgement of this fundraising milestone, we’re pleased to share with you messages of thanks from Georgia State University President M. Brian Blake and Chair of the GSU Foundation Board Kevin Lofton.

“Georgia State University’s ambitious vision is founded in the belief that when we work together on a common goal, we can achieve anything. My deepest thanks to the nearly 2,000 alumni, students, faculty, staff and supporters who showed their commitment to ensuring GSU students have the resources they need to succeed, and to the GSU Foundation Board trustees for their generosity and leadership.”

- M. Brian Blake, President, Georgia State University


“On behalf of the entire Georgia State University Foundation Board, I want to express our enthusiasm and gratitude for the truly historic support — topping $1 million — shown by the GSU community on Georgia State Day 2025.  It’s incredibly heartening to see Georgia State's supporters generously commit to the university's mission and share in our abiding belief in GSU and its students’ vital roles in Atlanta and beyond. Thanks again to all who gave and to my fellow Foundation Board trustees for their leadership.”

- Kevin Lofton (M.H.A. '79), Chair, Georgia State University Foundation Board
