It is incumbent upon the Foundation to earn each donor’s trust by ensuring gifts are acknowledged in a timely way, and the impact of your gift is demonstrated.

Investment Goals
The UW-Green Bay Foundation's investment policy assists the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors in evaluating the management of its investment portfolio and assures reasonable and prudent risk. Foundation assets are invested in short-term, intermediate and long-term investments as guided by the investment policy. Investment performance is reviewed quarterly and annually in aggregate against whether the Foundation's independent portfolio managers are meeting risk and return expectations of the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and serves as the custodian for charitable gifts made to UW-Green Bay and assures that donor intent is honored.
