Giving Tuesday 2025

Your Giving Tuesday Gift Builds Georgia’s Life Sciences Workforce


Dear friends and partners,

 

On this Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in building a strong, diverse, and innovation-ready life sciences workforce for Georgia.

 

The Georgia Life Sciences Institute (GLSI)—our nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation—is dedicated to expanding hands-on STEM education, strengthening the educator pipeline, and connecting students to real opportunities across biotechnology, biomanufacturing, and scientific research.


Your support today helps us reach students and communities who need it most.

 

Your Giving Tuesday gift makes a direct impact:

  • $25 provides supplies for teacher training workshops
  • $50 supports teacher training stipends
  • $75 provides meals and refreshments during our Biotech Teacher Training Workshops
  • $100 funds lab materials and educational resources for classrooms across Georgia
  • $250 sustains GLS and GLSI programs, including conferences and workforce initiatives
  • $500 helps build Georgia’s life sciences talent pipeline


This year, we’re working to expand access to STEM experiences statewide, especially in underserved and rural communities where students often have limited exposure to real-world scientific careers. With your help, every student in Georgia can see themselves as a future scientist, innovator, or biotech leader. And if you scroll down, you’ll see a real example of how GLSI programs, like our Equipment Depot, are helping Georgia students achieve nationally recognized breakthroughs.

 

Make your Giving Tuesday gift today and invest in Georgia’s life sciences future:
