Ways To Give

We know convenience is important for our generous donors. Perhaps you prefer the ease of online giving or writing a check, but maybe chatting about your gift directly with a staff person is more appealing. No matter what, we're here to make the process easy for you.

 

  • Write a Check

    Those wishing to make a gift in the form of a check can make it payable to the UWG Foundation. Checks can be mailed to the following address:

    University of West Georgia
    Alumni & Development
    1601 Maple Street
    Carrollton, GA  30118

    Be sure to note the purpose, or designation, of your gift on the memo line of your check or include a brief note. Without designation, your gift will be directed to the UWG Newnan Facilities Endowment.

  • Online Giving

    Donating online to UWG Newnan is quick and easy using our secure site. There are numerous giving options available; you can donate to a specific program, or allow the university to direct your gift to the area of greatest need. Click here to donate online now.

  • Gifts of Assets

    Making a gift of stock or securities is a great way to support UWG Newnan. Many donors choose to make a gift with assets other than cash.  The Foundation is happy to accept gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other assets: some donors may accrue tax advantages for donating appreciated securities.

  • Corporate Matching

    Many corporations participate in matching the gifts of their employees. Some double or triple each dollar contributed. Your company's Human Resources Department can provide details and the matching gift form to include with your check. To discover if your employer matches gifts, click here.

  • Legacy Giving

    Legacy gifts provide future support for the University of West Georgia. Contributions by will, trust, other forms of written designation, life-income arrangements and endowment gifts, all represent forms of legacy giving. All these gifts represent a powerful and meaningful way for individuals to create a philanthropic legacy for their family, community and UWG Newnan.
