Many types of gifts and gift vehicles are available to donors for the establishment of an endowment. The Athletic Association’s development staff assists each donor, working through their advisors, as they choose the most beneficial asset and the best method of transferring that asset to the Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia in order to achieve his or her objectives. Gifts to the Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program are tax-deductible, as allowed by law, and may provide the donor with considerable tax benefits.
