ONLINE | PHONE (229) 931-2014 | MAIL Checks payable to GSW Foundation
The GSW Foundation provides direct support to Georgia Southwestern State University and the Rosalynn Carter Institute.
Gifts may be designated to the area(s) you choose or made to the Southwestern Annual Fund for flexible program support
made available to all GSW areas, as needed.
Scheduled Installments or Recurring Gifts
To increase the impact of your gift without making a larger, one-time gift, consider scheduled installments or recurring gifts. A monthly, quarterly or yearly recurring gift to the GSW Foundation is convenient, easy to set up, and provides a reliable stream of support. Many donors find that when their gift is divided over several payments they are able to give more than originally thought possible. Your gift will recur until cancelled. It's your choice.
Gifts of Stocks, Mutual Funds or Real Estate
A gift of appreciated property (stocks, mutual funds or real estate) can be transferred to the GSW Foundation by your broker or investment advisor with the assistance of a member of the GSW Foundation staff.

Honor and Memorial Gifts
Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, the arrival of a child, the passing of a dear friend or family member — these are all moments that have special meaning in our lives. A thoughtful and caring way to honor or memorialize these times is to make a donation to the GSW Foundation in the name of a loved one. Your tax-deductible tribute gift, no matter the size, will touch countless lives.
