Day of the Badger

Shake a leg, Badger nation. This online day of giving shindig returns April 14–15 to celebrate and support UW–Madison. Please do your part by making a gift to a cause that fills your passion. And then see your personalized Bucky boogie on the digital dance floor.

Amplify Your Impact

Fun challenges, matches, and bonus bucks can double your dollars and spark some friendly competition. Everyone’s a winner when you support students, advance innovations, and improve communities.

And, if you’re about to make your first-ever gift, take advantage of the first-time donor match. Your gift of $100 or more to any fund will be doubled! To secure your match, be sure to check the “first-time donor” box when you donate.

The Power of Collective Giving

Gifts of any amount add up and make a difference. One gift can change countless lives. That’s something to celebrate.

Hype Your UW Pride

Snap a selfie, share a Badger memory, and post on social to encourage others to get involved. Tag us @WisAlumni.
