The Georgia Tech Catholic Center
Our Story
Who We Are
We are called to be the presence of God to the Georgia Tech community.
For 39 years, the Georgia Tech Catholic Center has provided a community for Georgia Tech Students, Faculty, and Friends to encounter Christ in the Liturgy, the Sacraments, Formation and Discipleship, and Christian Service. We strive to build up the Body of Christ in our Church and our world through an unparalleled formation experience.
Our #iGiveCatholic Goal
Our goal is to raise $30,000 during this campaign period to subsidize the cost of renovations to our basement. These renovations will include the addition of a reading and library space, new furniture, and painting. This goal would ensure we maintain our vibrant, welcoming, and intellectually enriching space for our students and community.

FAQs:
WHAT IS IGIVECATHOLIC?
iGiveCatholic is an annual day of giving. The Catholic Center partners with the national iGiveCatholic Campaign which is specifically designated for Catholic causes and initiatives. Our campaign (through iGiveCatholic) will benefit the Georgia Tech Catholic Center exclusively.
iGiveCatholic is a two-week campaign that raises money for something within the Catholic Center. This year's campaign will support the Focus Missionary Fund. Just like any other event, this campaign is separate from regular giving in that it calls upon our entire community to rally in support of a particular need at the time.
WHAT OTHER CHANNELS OF GIVING ARE ACCEPTED?

WHY ARE THERE FEES APPLIED TO MY DONATION?
#iGiveCatholic is a fundraiser, and there are expenses as there are with any other fundraiser held in person such as a dinner, gala, etc. The convenience of donating through a giving day platform with special features and extra security measures incurs fees. These online transaction fees contribute to the cost of secure financial transactions, responsive tech support, customizable marketing materials, tailored training, one-on-one support, and other behind-the-scenes components enabling us to focus our time and effort on our mission. You can read more about how these fees assist us HERE.
All online donations will be paid to the organization net the host, platform, and ACH or credit card transaction fees. ACH fees are 3.3% plus $3.00. Credit card transaction fees are 5.8% plus $0.30. Donors have the option to cover these fees at the time of donation, and they will receive a tax deduction on the full donation amount, inclusive of any fees covered. Offline gifts of cash and checks given directly to the organization incur no online transaction fees.
IS MY GIFT TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?
Yes, your gift to the #iGiveCatholic campaign is tax-deductible. You should receive an electronic receipt for tax purposes sent to the email you provide upon making your gift.
