Named to honor the past leadership of the University of Georgia, the Presidents Club recognizes donors who provide high levels of academic support. Annual membership is based on giving within the University's fiscal year (July-June) and is renewable. Matching gift contributions from an employer may apply toward membership.
Presidents Club members receive:
• a listing in the Presidents Club Honor Roll
• a one-year complimentary subscription to Georgia Magazine
• an invitation to attend the annual Presidents Club reception
In 1973, under the administration of President Fred C. Davison, a group of dedicated alumni founded The Presidents Club. Membership required a gift in cash, securities or real property totaling $10,000 or a deferred or planned gift of $25,000. Founding Presidents Club membership was closed in 1993.
In 1994, under the administration of President Charles B. Knapp, the Presidents Club membership guidelines were modified to recognize donors of annual gifts of $1,000 or more which may be unrestricted or designated by the donor to any academic area, program or affiliated unit.
University of Georgia Partners, initiated in 1999 under the administration of President Michael F. Adams, recognizes the University's needs for both restricted and unrestricted gifts.
