3. Office of Gift Planning (OGP)

OGP provides expertise in the planning, cultivation, and solicitation of “planned gifts” to the University of Georgia.  A planned gift is a commitment reached after consideration of the comparative benefits of a major outright gift and/or a future expectancy or a gift involving obligations between The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc., and the donor.  Because the documentation and execution of many planned gifts may be complex in terms of protecting both The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc., and the donor, OGP must review all documents relating to such gifts prior to execution by the donor and acceptance The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc.  The donor will always be advised to seek his/her own outside legal and tax counsel before executing a planned gift.  See the Deferred Gift Section III.F. for more information on minimum gift amounts and policies for different types of planned gifts.  TOP
