Calling All Members of Team Isakson – Let’s Help Honor Johnny’s Legacy!

Your gift through the School of Public and International Affairs helps carry on Johnny’s legacy of political civility.

The UGA School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) introduced the Johnny Isakson Legacy Fund in 2023 to provide support for academic and programmatic efforts that promote the ideals Johnny embodied so well: bipartisanship, civility and common interest problem-solving.

As a member of Team Isakson, your work on Johnny’s behalf was critical to his public service. Together with Johnny, you built a strong fellowship of “friends and future friends.” We all miss Johnny so much, but you have an opportunity to help carry on his important legacy.

Help us reach our $50,000 goal so that “Team Isakson” will be permanently listed collectively as a Founding Donor to the Isakson Legacy Fund.

As an added bonus, Johnny’s three Senate chiefs of staff – Heath Garrett, Chris Carr and Joan Carr – have pledged to match your donations up to $50,000. Thank you, Heath, Chris and Joan!

In addition, Team Isakson member Francie Pastor has agreed to DOUBLE that match — meaning each dollar Team Isakson staffers give will be matched 2:1 up to $50,000. Thank you, Francie, for providing this additional amazing incentive for our Team Isakson Challenge! Francie is pledging this support in memory of her parents, Ann and Allen Powers.
