The University and the Foundation join forces in a public-private partnership that benefits campus, its schools, colleges, departments and programs.
The Foundation would have no reason to exist without the University. The University would have far fewer resources without the Foundation.
The University provides the inspiration for individuals, families, foundations and corporations to make gifts to support teaching, research and outreach.
The Foundation, working closely with you, its campus partners, raises money to support your priorities, including scholarships, professorships, building projects, research programs and deans’ discretionary funds. In 2008, the UW Foundation received 116,182 gifts for the University and transferred $203.3 million of gift money and investment income to the UW-Madison.
