Women's Philanthropy Network

ENGAGING AND INSPIRING WOMEN TO SUPPORT AND INVEST IN GEORGIA STATE

The Women’s Philanthropy Network (WPN) offers opportunities for women to invest in Georgia State’s mission as an innovative public research university for all. We believe a college education has the power to transform the lives of students, their families, and their communities - and Georgia State has proven that, with the right support, all students can achieve and succeed. Join WPN in our work of providing that support.

Georgia State Day Challenge Gift

For this year’s Georgia State Day, and in honor of Georgia State leader and alumnus Dr. Michael Sanseviro in recognition of his retirement from GSU, the Women’s Philanthropy Network will match every gift to the WPN Sanseviro Graduate Intern Fund dollar for dollar, up to $25,000.

This fund supports graduate interns in the Graduate School, with an emphasis on students pursuing careers in the helping professions. Your gift is doubled - and helps expand opportunities for graduate students across Georgia State.

Two words: “Wow!” & “Thanks!” — Georgia State Day 2026

Apr 24, 2026

YOU DID IT!

On Georgia State Day 2026, the university asked you to give in support of GSU student opportunity. You answered…and answered in a big, BIG, record-setting way!

Your generous giving helped power Georgia State to a new giving day record — $1.35 million! This topped our previous Georgia State Day high, set just last year.

Georgia State has tremendous momentum, and your support on Georgia State Day 2026 has given the university and its students another BIG boost. You and your fellow donors have provided Panthers with vital resources that will open doors to discovery, choices, and rewarding futures. That’s impact!

On behalf of the university and its students, thank you for investing in Panther futures. You deserve a BIG hand!
