Why Are The UConn Foundation’s Donor Records Not Open To The Public?

The UConn Foundation is a private, not-for-profit corporation, not a public agency. This separate foundation structure, which is utilized successfully to support public universities nationwide, legally preserves the private nature of gifts received in the same manner that donor privacy is ensured in the case of most charitable institutions. An independent UConn Foundation can better serve the University and donors if its private nature continues to be respected.
