Statement on Stewardship

Central to the mission of the University of Wisconsin Foundation is a commitment to long-term relationships with our donors and the understanding that exceptional stewardship is essential to our success.

Building on this distinctive legacy, our organization values stewardship practices that are rooted in authentic relationships, where donors know the impact of their gifts and recognize their essential role in the life and destiny of the University of Wisconsin.

UWF stewardship practices are focused on three core objectives:

  1. Donors will receive prompt and meaningful acknowledgment whenever they give.
  2. Donors will get meaningful and measurable results on their last gift at work before being asked for another one.
  3. Donors will receive the highest level of financial accountability for their gifts/funds.
