PARTNERSHIPS
The Foundation creates opportunities for Augusta University through its subordinate corporations, which focus on Real Estate, Community Engagement, and Philanthropy.
The MCGF, in partnership with founder Dag Grantham, established Paceline in 2018 with the goal of funding cancer research at the Georgia Cancer Center.
This ambitious project - to give students hands-on opportunities to learn about philanthropy, stewardship, investing and finance - is underway thanks to a $500,000 commitment from the MCG Foundation.
Originally envisioned by Doug Neil and the MCG Foundation as the "Dream Center", the HUB for Community Innovation is now a 56,000 sq ft community campus at the gateway to the AU Health Sciences Campus.
