Link to the Foundation

The UConn Foundation is an organization that receives and manages University donations. They are a separate entity from UConn and their funds are housed separately from our University Funds. When funds are donated, they are distributed to the corresponding Foundation account that matches the donor’s intent.

Funds are managed through the FELIX system where a multitude of accounts are held to support various research initiatives, scholarships and fellowships, events, and general expenses for UConn departments at the University. Each Foundation account has an agreement that is signed and specifically notes how the funds are to be utilized.

Departments can utilize these funds through UConn systems on department Foundation 6 Ledgers or pay expenses directly through the Foundation. Expenses are paid or reimbursing the 6Ls by the Foundation through PaperSave. A Request for Disbursement (RFD) is submitted to reimburse expenses that were allocated to the 6L KFS accounts with appropriate backup and justification.
