The Funds That Support Magic And Possibilities
During Day of the Badger, we ask you to join us in support of the people behind the magic of the Wisconsin Union and in keeping our more than 110-year legacy of magical experiences going.
Your Gift Matters
We are a little different from most of the efforts you will be called to support during Day of the Badger in that we do not receive taxpayer dollars as part of our regular budget for our community events or student leadership efforts. That’s right. Your support through purchases at our buildings, Memorial Union and Union South, and your gifts make what we do possible.
During this Day of the Badger, here are the ways you can make a difference:
André De Shields Fund: Why We Need Your Support
Help us hold programming that features the art and stories of historically underrepresented students with unique perspectives and extraordinary ideas. Gifts to this fund provide students with the opportunity to develop, design, produce and perform artistic works alongside mentors, teachers and professionals.
Matching Gift Opportunity: $5,000 Thanks to Thompson Investment Management
Undergraduate Student Success Fund: Why We Need Your Support
Support students’ out-of-classroom learning with your donations to this Fund. Your gift provides students with opportunities to engage in experimental learning, high-impact practices, and the development of intercultural competence.
Matching Gift Opportunity: $10,000 Thanks to the Wisconsin Union Association
Wisconsin Singers Fund: Why We Need Your Support
The Wisconsin Singers are known as the “Official Ambassadors of Goodwill” of UW–Madison, and your donations to the Singers help the ensemble travel around Wisconsin, bringing art to many communities and supporting the learning and leadership that happens as part of the Singers’ efforts.
Wisconsin Union Annual Fund: Why We Need Your Support
Your gift to the Wisconsin Union Annual Fund helps make sure our experiences are accessible to all patrons. It is critical to the continuing of our traditions and the memory-making opportunities and to helping those who gather find a sense of community and belonging.
Matching Gift Opportunity: $10,000 Thanks to Lynn Abbott, Emil and Eloisa Sanchez
