The Whistle Archives Publication is weekly throughout the academic year. Georgia Tech is a unit of the University System of Georgia. As part of the State Charitable Contributions Program, Tech's campaign invites employees to contribute to participating charities, with the option of making donations through payroll deduction. The citizens of Georgia and Atlanta contribute to Georgia Tech through their tax dollars, lottery purchases, contributions to scholarship funds and purchase of tickets for athletic and arts events. I urge all employees to give to one or more of the many organizations included in the campaign.
Every gift is important.
Each faculty and staff member will receive a pledge card with a list of eligible charitable agencies. The list includes both independent and federated charitable organizations. Independent charitable organizations conduct a wide range of health, welfare and educational programs and provide services to individuals on a statewide basis. Participants may designate their gift for a specific area or let the State Charitable Contributions Program use it wherever it is most needed. Pledge cards will be distributed within the next several weeks.
