Gifts to Georgia Tech • Through testamentary charitable remainder trust, will establish the Karen A. and Christopher T. Ratcliffe Endowment Fund to provide unrestricted support of Georgia Tech. Thoughts on Giving to Tech "Not only do I owe my first job to the relationships I made on the rugby field at Tech, but also my many years of happy marriage. A testamentary trust allows us to make a significant future gift to Tech in appreciation for the great start it gave us, while providing for the needs of our sons. While I'd love to see the Institute use the gift to build a better rugby field, Karen and I have designated our gift for unrestricted endowment so that Tech's future leaders can decide where the funds will do the most good."
