Under the auspices of the Office of Senior Vice President for External Affairs and Arch, the Gift Accounting Office located at 394 South Milledge Avenue, Athens Georgia serves as the central location to receive and deposit all gifts The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc., and also, to record all private gifts/philanthropic grants to the University of Georgia received via the various school and college units, the UGA Research Foundation (UGARF), the Bursar's Office, 4-H Foundation, Georgia Museum of Art, Athletics, and all other University constituent organizations.  Stated in shorter form, the Gift Accounting Office must record all gifts/philanthropic grants, regardless of whether the funds are received and deposited by The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc. or another office on campus.  Included are gifts/philanthropic grants from alumni, friends, corporations, foundations, associations, and other UGA constituencies.

It is important that all private non-contractual gifts received or awarded to the University be reported to Arch Gift Accounting Office upon receipt.  Timely and accurate notification of such gifts is necessary for both reporting and receipting purposes.  Please utilize the existing UGA forms for notification of gifts and appropriate grants:  1) UGA Transmittal Form for Tax Deductible Gifts/Grants, and 2) ARCH Transmittal Form for Tax Deductible Gifts/Grants (See Exhibits III.F and III.G).
