The Office of University Advancement at Georgia College & State University is celebrating a recordbreaking year of fundraising, including a new institutional record for private donations.
The GCSU Foundation, which serves as the fundraising body for GCSU, reported $9,597,197 in private philanthropic support – a new institutional record. This represents a 9% increase over last year’s record-setting total and a 240% increase compared to FY23. GCSU also expanded its fundraising reach, receiving support from 985 new donors.
“As institutional leaders, we’ve always known GCSU is a special place and it’s inspiring to see that sentiment shared by so many alumni, families, foundations and corporate partners who believe in our unique approach to higher education,” said Seth Walker, vice president for University Advancement and executive director of the GCSU Foundation.
Additionally, Georgia College Athletics had its best fundraising year ever, raising over $636,000 – a 24% increase over the previous year and a 169% increase compared to FY23.
