About the Office of Gift & Estate Planning 

The Office of Gift & Estate Planning (https://dar.uga.edu/gift-estate-planning/) assists donors with making a planned gift to the University of Georgia Foundation. This office partners with schools, colleges, units, and fundraisers across campus to ensure donors have the information and resources they need to make a planned gift. Many donors may not realize the capacity they have to positively impact the lives of students, faculty, and the University of Georgia for generations. Most donors cannot afford to make a major gift to the university at a given moment in their lives but planned giving provides an avenue through which the same people can give more than they ever thought possible.

At UGA, the evidence of planned giving and the effectiveness of such generosity permeates the institution. The university’s most generous benefactors have funded scholarships, chairs and professorships, campus infrastructure and many other areas of critical need.
