Georgia State Day 2026

Past University Library Board Chairs will match $1 for $1 up to $1,500 for gifts made to any University Library fund.

When 15 gifts are made to the Library Special Collections a generous donor will give $1,500. Giving to Georgia State University Library’s Special Collections helps preserve and share the historical record of Georgia State, downtown Atlanta and the region. Financial gifts provide archivists with the tools, time and resources needed to process collections, care for rare materials and make these stories accessible to students, scholars and the public.

If 150 current students make a gift to any fund, the GSU Foundation Board will make a $25,000 gift in support of the Emergency Assistance Fund.

The GSU Foundation Board will give $25,000 to the Georgia State University Fund if 1,000 GSU employees make a gift to any fund.

The GSU Foundation Board will match $1 for $1 up to $30,000 for the first 30 donors who give $1,000+, qualifying them for Presidents Society.

When 100 gifts are made to any area of the University Library, a gift of $1,500 will be unlocked by Dean Jeff Steely and Associate Dean Laura Burtle. The University Libraries are vital to our community, providing resources and services that enhance student learning, inspire innovation and enable the creation of new knowledge.

In honor of the class of 1975, class reunion co-chair Dr. Felicia Mayfield will give $1,975 if 75 gifts are made to the Library Renovation Fund, which will fund a museum‑quality University Library exhibit honoring Georgia State and Atlanta’s shared history.

If 350 new donors make their first gift to any area, the GSU Foundation Board will contribute $20,000 to the Student Success Fund.

If 250 young alumni give to any initiative, the GSU Foundation Board will contribute $25,000 to the Student Success Fund.
