Welcome Letter from the Chair

In just two years, the Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia has gone from vision to reality and is today an organization fully focused on securing the private financial resources which will help continue the rise in academic quality at UGA.  It is the primary goal and mission of the Arch Foundation to build and sustain an endowment that will help make UGA one of America's very best public universities. While the state of Georgia has been quite generous in its support for UGA, it is the level of private support from alumni, friends and supporters like you that will set us apart from our peers.

On this website you will find information about how to make a gift to UGA, how your endowment gift will be managed and how it will grow. You can also access information about our outstanding Board of Trustees and our governance structure.

The Arch Foundation is committed to being an organization worthy of your support and trust. We employ sound investment principles in the management of your endowed gifts and will ensure that your gifts are always managed in strict accordance with your stated wishes. The Arch Foundation follows best practices in our governance policies and places a premium on transparency in everything we do. And perhaps our greatest strength is the integrity and quality of our Board membership, which is representative of the UGA community.

On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees of the Arch Foundation, thank you for helping us make UGA the university we all want it to be – a university with an outstanding student body, world-class faculty and the very best facilities; a university which is conducting leading research in hundreds of fields; and a university which is fulfilling its historic, land-grant mission to serve the people of Georgia and the world.

Norman Fletcher
Chairman of the Arch Foundation's Board of Trustees
