CDT’s core mission is to secure (or assist others to secure) major, principal, planned gifts, gifts-in-kind and philanthropic grants to move Clemson fiercely forward and surpass Campaign goals. CDT works with, and for, all divisions and colleges to consistently exceed fundraising expectations.

 

GIFT-IN-KIND/GRANTS-AS-GIFT CENTER (GiK/GaG)

The GiK/GaG Center is a subsidiary of the CFR team.  GiK gifts are philanthropic, non-monetary gifts to the University/Foundation from individuals, small businesses and corporate entities which move Clemson fiercely forward.  The Center ensures that all appropriate funds from these GiKs and GaGs are included in Advancement's annual fund-raising goals.  The Center is responsible for assisting the Gift Acceptance Committee in record-keeping and accounting for these philanthropic gifts/grants.
