The Correll Family Foundation

  • Elizabeth Correll Richards

“My family has always valued education and opportunities to improve our state. Supporting the University of Georgia allows us to do both of these things and more. We have each found our own ways to contribute to UGA, whether financially or with our time and service. We are proud to represent three generations who have lots of love for the Bulldogs.”

A Legacy of Giving

The Correll Family Foundation represents one of the most enduring philanthropic partnerships in UGA history. Today, Elizabeth Correll Richards leads the foundation and carries on the legacy established by her late parents, Ada Lee BSEd ’63 and A.D. “Pete” Correll BBA ’63. She also serves as a UGA Foundation Trustee and was the inaugural chair of Georgia Women Give.

The Correll Family Foundation’s impact is anchored by Correll Hall, the inaugural building of the Terry College Business Learning Community, and by a $1 million investment to support the School of Medicine. The Correll Scholars Program, established with a $5 million gift, provides a comprehensive collegiate experience for students with significant financial need. Thanks to these life-changing investments and Elizabeth’s active leadership, the Correll name is synonymous with opportunity and excellence across the University.
