It is the mission of the Georgia Tech Foundation, its Board of Trustees, officers and staff to foster and manage gifts given in support of academic excellence in the spirit and traditions of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Georgia Tech Foundation Inc’s largest recent grants were three consecutive scholarship-and-fellowship awards to Georgia Institute of Technology: $77,868,474 in 2023, $97,218,459 in 2024, and $108,067,378 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder centered on academic support for Georgia Tech students, with major institutional gifts flowing alongside athletics, alumni, facilities, and campus-related programs. The foundation’s mission is to foster and manage gifts in support of academic excellence in the spirit and traditions of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Recent grants also show sustained support for Georgia Tech Athletics and the alumni network, including repeated funding to the Georgia Tech Athletic Association and Georgia Tech Alumni Association. Facilities-related grants appear as well, including support for Georgia Tech Facilities Inc and Georgia Tech Foundation Funding Corporation. The grant list is overwhelmingly tied to Atlanta institutions, reinforcing that this is a locally focused funder with deep ties to the Georgia Tech ecosystem.
Scholarships and fellowships are the clearest throughline. The foundation awarded Georgia Tech Athletic Association $13,500,000 in 2024 and $6,138,107 in 2025 for scholarships, showing that student aid extends beyond the main university channel. It also supports alumni programming. Georgia Tech Alumni Association received $3,728,308 in 2023, $2,789,325 in 2024, and $2,977,376 in 2025 for alumni association work, indicating recurring institutional support. Facilities and capital projects are another theme. Georgia Tech Facilities Inc received $1,246,267 in 2025 for a construction project, while Georgia Tech Foundation Funding Corporation received $537,181 in 2024 for capital projects. The foundation also made smaller support grants to Georgia Tech Global Inc and to Emory University.
The grant-size profile is wide, with a 25th percentile of $78,260, a median grant of $645,457, and a 75th percentile of $4,330,758. The recent record mixes a few very large scholarship commitments with many smaller operating or project-specific awards. Recipients recur across multiple years, especially Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Tech Athletic Association, Georgia Tech Alumni Association, Georgia Tech Facilities Inc, and Georgia Tech Global Inc. Georgia Tech Foundation Inc is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
