University Of Georgia Rugby Club
Financial Support
Donations are essential to the stability and growth of the UGARFC, as the club receives minimal funding from UGA's Department of Recreational Sports. The vast majority of expenses are funded by student dues and fundraising. There are 2 main ways to support us:
1) Donating to the Alumni Association Fund
Donations made to the UGA Rugby Alumni Association Fund are controlled by the UGARFCAA and make the most impact. The Alumni Association is legally established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) entity called The Rugby Alumni Association of UGA, INC., and has been granted IRS tax exempt status with 509(a)(2) classification.
The fastest and easiest way to donate to this fund is via PayPal.
2) Donating via the University of Georgia Foundation
(The Endowed Fund)
Through a partnership with the University of Georgia, an Endowed Fund has been set up for UGA Rugby. These funds are controlled by UGA, but benefit the club in perpetuity, for certain approved expenses. To donate to UGA Rugby in this manner, please follow the steps below:
-
visit https://gail.uga.edu/commit.
-
search for "rugby club" and select "UGA Rugby Club Endowed Fund - 71084003"
Time, Talents, & More
In addition to financial support, we welcome other types of assistance! We could always use people to help with various efforts, including but not limited to coaching, public relations, recruiting, event planning, and fundraising. We strive to think "outside of the box" when it comes to leveraging our network of supporters, so please email us if you're interested in volunteering, have items to donate to an auction, or can offer any other support to the club.
