The University of Georgia received a total of $653,647,368 in gifts and commitments during its seven-year Archway to Excellence fundraising campaign that ended June 30. The total surpassed the campaign goal by more than $150 million and makes the campaign far and away the most successful fundraising effort in UGA’s 223-year history.

More than 102,000 donors contributed to the campaign, which began in 2001 with a goal of $500 million. That goal was surpassed 15 months ago but the campaign continued until its planned conclusion June 30, resulting in a final tally 30 percent above the goal.
