We are honored that you have chosen to visit the University of Georgia Foundation’s Web site. It is an organization that was established in 1937, long before anyone could have imagined the forum in which we present our information today. What was envisioned then, and remains a constant today, is that the foundation was created with a primary mission of supporting academics at the University of Georgia.

The foundation has grown from an original endowment of slightly more than $3,000 in 1937 to more than $600 million today. This growth is due to the continued generosity of those who love the University of Georgia and want to perpetuate its legacy as one of the great institutions of higher learning in the United States. Our role is to ensure that contributions are managed skillfully to maximize value and to fulfill donor wishes to the nth degree.

We have an outstanding investment track record that has returned more than 10 percent per year for the last decade, clearly outperforming every major market index and making us one of the best in the nation among foundations supporting institutions of higher learning. In short, we consider the stewardship of your money to be a sacred obligation.

We hope you enjoy browsing this site and learning more about the University of Georgia Foundation. Please feel free to contact us if we may answer any questions or assist you in directing a gift to support the University of Georgia.
Sincerely,

Bill Young,
Chairman
