University of Georgia groundbreaker and alumna Charlayne Hunter-Gault, in honor of her 80th birthday and in tribute to her dear friend, the late Valerie Boyd, announced that she would be making a contribution to support the Giving Voice to the Voiceless Fund.

To celebrate Hunter-Gault, UGA President Jere W. Morehead has committed up to $25,000 of private discretionary funds to match, dollar-for-dollar, gifts made to this fund.

In 2018, Charlayne Hunter-Gault (ABJ ’63) and her husband, Ron Gault, established the Giving Voice to the Voiceless program which provides grants to UGA students from all disciplines to help them pursue innovative projects that give voice to individuals, stories and topics that advance social justice, global understanding and the human good.

Several unique programs have been supported by this fund, including an international group of writers that share stories about youth engagement, human rights and sustainability; the UGA Black Alumni Oral History Project; and a podcast that tells the story of Preston Cobb and his unjust execution in 1961.
