Give to GGC

The Office of Development serves to advance the College’s mission by developing financial support through strengthening relationships between GGC and its key constituencies. We accomplish this goal in three primary ways:

Fostering long-term relationships and lifelong commitments to the College
Facilitating the acquisition and stewardship of private resources in coordination with the GGC Foundation to help the College attain levels of excellence beyond state funding
Establishing efficient and effective communications, volunteer leadership, development and fundraising activities and a strong partnership with the Georgia Gwinnett College Foundation.
