Unique Advantages of the UNT Foundation
- Provides a private/public partnership for raising and managing money, yet operates independently of the University unencumbered by certain state regulations
- Allocates unrestricted moneys to urgent needs that the University is unable to support with state-appropriated funds
- Provides greater confidentiality and/or anonymity of gift records
- Manages donated funds and distributes the earnings, as well as the principal, depending upon donor stipulations
- Maintains separate fund accounts from one fiscal year to the next
- Permits flexibility in the options for short-term investment of money needed for operating purposes, and in choosing long-term investment opportunities for endowments
- Accepts and sells tangible personal property and real estate with fewer state restrictions
- Maintains an independent board, which more effectively attracts volunteers who develop a sense of ownership and pride in the University, critical to fundraising success
- Works in partnership with the University's Division of Advancement to develop a formal agreement that guides an account established by a donor’s gifts
