University of North Georgia Foundation Launches Branded Donor-Advised Fund Program with Foundation Source and Charityvest
The University of North Georgia (UNG) Foundation has partnered with philanthropy platform providers Foundation Source and DAF sponsor Charityvest to launch the UNG Foundation DAF, a branded donor-advised fund program. This initiative allows alumni and supporters to contribute cash, securities, or complex assets such as real estate and private equity in a streamlined way while recommending grants to both UNG and other qualified charities. The new platform offers tax-deductible contributions, investment growth potential, and the ability for donors to name beneficiaries or successors. The program is part of an ongoing trend among academic institutions seeking more flexible fundraising tools that align with donor preferences. Foundation Source has previously launched similar programs at universities like Temple University in 2025. The partnership aims to enhance UNG’s philanthropy strategy by providing a modern, tech-forward giving experience and reinforcing long-term connections between donors and the university.
