Giving
Private gifts are one of the important reasons that Tennessee Tech Chemistry is the outstanding department it is today. Gifts from alumni, friends, faculty and staff, students, and private companies/foundations have enabled the department to outfit 21st Century classrooms, purchase cutting-edge instrumentation and award scholarships on an annual basis. These additional enhancements and opportunities make Tennessee Tech Chemistry more attractive to students and have contributed to our increasing number of majors. None of this would have been possible without your generous and often continuing support.
There are a variety of giving opportunities available to you as a friend or alumnus of the chemistry department. This overview of our current needs and opportunities provides a starting point to help you find the most convenient and satisfying way to make a donation. You can also contact us if you have questions. Although there are guidelines and laws to be considered, the university is allowed to accept any lawful and nondiscriminatory gift that promotes our mission and for which there is no expectation of return or compensation. We are currently purchasing new equipment and funding undergraduate and graduate research with funds donated by alumni/friends. These needs increase annually, and without your support, we cannot meet many of these needs. You, as a member of the Tennessee Tech family, serve a vital role as we continue to grow in both reputation and number.
Designating Gifts to Chemistry
The following is a list of current chemistry and pre-professional endowments and unrestricted accounts where you can designate funds. If you desire to donate funds that can be immediately used by the chemistry department, you would select the "Chemistry Department Restricted Fund" or simply type “chemistry;” however, if you wish to contribute to a particular endowment or fund, we have many from which to select. When making a gift to the university through the use of the Tennessee Tech Online Giving Page , simply designate your gift by selecting "other" from within the dropdown box and enter your request.
