The Foundation of the University of North Georgia, in collaboration with Foundation Source and Charityvest, has launched a branded donor suggestion fund project.

This collaboration will provide alumni and supporters of North Georgia University with a more modern, technology-driven donation experience.

Key points:

• The Foundation of Northern Georgia University ( UNG ) has collaborated with Foundation Source and Charityvest to launch UNG Foundation DAF.
• Donors can contribute cash, securities, or complex assets through a streamlined platform, and recommend allocations to the UNG Foundation as well as other eligible charitable organizations.
• This collaboration has expanded the cooperation between Foundation Source and Charityvest with academic institutions on branded donor suggestion fund projects.

Ferfield, Connecticut, October 8, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Foundation Source, which provides charitable solutions for donors, non-profit organizations, institutions, and their financial advisors, today announced a partnership with the Foundation of North Georgia University ( UNG ) to establish UNG Foundation DAF – a fully branded donor advisory fund ( DAF ) project owned by the university. This project is supported by Foundation Source and in collaboration with DAF and its initiator Charityvest, offering alumni and supporters a flexible and tax-efficient way to give back to the university and other qualified charitable organizations.

The president of DAF under Foundation Source, and the founder of Charityvest, Stephen Kump stated: "Universities are increasingly looking for ways to improve their fundraising strategies, and branding DAF is one of the most effective tools as it allows us to connect with donors where they are. We are proud to collaborate with UNG Foundation to provide alumni and supporters with a simple and flexible way to support organizations they are familiar with and trust."

Through UNG Foundation DAF, donors can set up charitable donation accounts to make tax-deductible donations, invest their funds in search of potential appreciation, and allocate grants to UNG Foundation and other charitable organizations of their concern according to their own schedule. In addition to cash and securities, the platform also accepts complex assets, including real estate, private equity, and other appreciated assets. Donors can also designate UNG Foundation as the beneficiary, or specify family members or other heirs, thereby providing additional flexibility for long-term charitable planning.

The Vice President for Development Affairs at Northern Georgia University, and the CEO of the UNG Foundation, Jeff Tarnowski, stated: "Our alumni and supporters are very generous, and we want to make it as easy as possible for them to support UNG while pursuing a wider range of charitable goals. UNG Foundation DAF provides donors with greater flexibility in the way and timing of their donations, and also creates another meaningful way for them to remain connected to the university and the causes that matter most to them."

Prior to this collaboration, Foundation Source and Charityvest launched a similar project with Tianpu University in November 2025. This also highlights the continuous commitment of these institutions to providing tools, technologies, and professional capabilities to organizations and donors, in order to carry out donations in a more strategic manner that generates greater impact.

UNG Alumni and supporters can learn more about this DAF project.
