Do you have a favorite charity or organization that you support with a monetary donation? Would you like to double your donation up to $100? Then GCU GoGive! Direct can help you.

GCU will provide an annual match of up to $100 per member, to increase your giving power. So get out there and go give with GoGive! Direct!

GoGive! Direct is Simple.

  3. The 2024 annual budget will be $7,500. Applications are accepted on a first come first served basis and must be completed online.
  4. Applicants must provide all requested information on the online form or the application will not be processed.
  5. Applicants must submit a copy or scan of the donation receipt on the charitable organization’s letterhead showing amount. Receipt can be mailed or emailed to the GCU.
  6. GoGive! Direct donations will not be made to a GCU GoGive! fundraising activity, a church or charity already receiving a GCU Matching Fund donation in that calendar year or to a church as a match of the member’s regular Sunday donation.

Direct funds and must have two forms of verificaton-a cancelled check showing payment to the individual and a note from the recipient that the funds were received for the specific cause presented in the request.)
