About the Office of Development
Development is a term used in higher education to encompass fundraising, annual giving, and other financial initiatives of a college to maintain innovation and excellence.
The State of Georgia currently supplies less than 34 percent of the public funds required to operate UGA’s annual budget. This means that more than 66 percent of funding comes from the private sector, which is why each college unit at UGA employs a Director of Development. Development professionals work on obtaining the “means to the end,” in securing private resources through alumni, friends of the college, corporations and foundations.
