Mission & Vision

FOUNDED IN 1995

The University System of Georgia Foundation (USG Foundation) is a philanthropic foundation that raises and manages donations to support our mission and goals. As the cooperative partner of the USG and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are managed by a separate governing board of trustees.

MISSION: 

We exist to support the USG mission through advancing strategic philanthropy, managing assets effectively, and empowering institutions to strengthen our students and Georgia’s future workforce.

VISION: 

We are creating a sustainable culture of philanthropy across the USG so that every student has the opportunity to pursue a quality education and make a positive impact on Georgia’s future.
