What are the Different Foundation Fund Types?

If you think of the UGA Foundation as a bank, then funds are the bank accounts. Each school/college/unit at UGA has Foundation funds. Some units may have more funds than others. The money in these funds are composed primarily of donated gifts. Funds also house money from investments, UGA transfers, and event registrations.

Endowed Funds

Endowed fund numbers begin with 7. (ex. 7109800, 7450000)
They are the most common fund type.

Non-Endowed Funds

Non-endowed fund numbers begin with 8 or 9. (ex. 8109800, 9450000)
