Gift Accounting Year-End Process |
|
|
An important message regarding the UGA Foundation’s year-end gift processing deadlines:
Over the holidays, the best way for donors to ensure their gift is completed in 2023 is to give online by credit card before midnight on December 31, 2023. Please direct donors to give.uga.edu/commit. Donors may also make a gift by check if the envelope is postmarked in 2023.
All donations received postmarked December 31, 2023 should be delivered with the postmarked envelope to Gift Accounting by noon on January 12, 2024. Before delivery, please complete an online deposit transmittal at dar.uga.edu/deposit, and include the coversheet with your deposit.
A representative from UGA Foundation will be available at 706-542-4438 (542-GIFT) to assist donors, friends, and employees with year-end giving questions from December 26th – 29th from 9:00am – 5:00pm. If you have any questions about this email, please contact Gift Accounting at gifts@uga.edu or 706-542-4438 (706-542-GIFT).
If you plan to be out of the office the week of December 18-22, please have a colleague check your mail and send any payments received to the Foundation for safe keeping. |

| AskIT Ticket Request Cut Off |
In order to manage the tickets we currently have and work on any new ones that are needed before the holiday break, we are setting a deadline of Friday, December 15 for sending in your tickets. That will be the last day that AskIT
can accept tickets that will be completed before the holiday break. You can still submit tickets after that date, however, those tickets will not be completed until we return after the holiday break in January. Please be mindful of the data you need to have now versus what can wait until January. Your understanding and cooperation are most appreciated.
UGA Offices will be closed from December 25, 2023 through January 1, 2024. |

ACH/Direct Debit Giving Link
|
|
|
UGA Foundation has a new process where donors can provide their bank account information online in order for the Foundation to initiate a direct debit payment from their account, thus not incurring credit card fees which are an expense allocated to the benefitting fund. This option may be more convenient to some donors than initiating the ACH payment from their financial institution themselves. Go here to start a new donation using this latest feature!

Online Deposit Transmittals |
|
|
When a check is received by a unit, please remember to fill out, print and send a Deposit Transmittal along with the check to Gift Accounting. All UGA employees (with a MyID) have access to the Deposit Transmittal form.
If you are also a GAIL user, then you have the additional tool of being able to look for the donor on the GAIL side to connect them to the transmittal. Please know that GAIL access is not required for filling out this form. |

GAIL Class Schedules Posted through January 2024 |
Please plan ahead with any new hires coming onboard between now and the end of December. With holidays coming up, we are having to squeeze the training grid a bit. Client Services schedules GAIL 101 classes at least 5 business days after the first, and middle, of every month so that MyID's, VPN, and ArchPass can be obtained as those are required in order to access GAIL.

We hope that everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable and merry holiday break! |
