Dave and I decided to give one gift this year, rather than several smaller ones, and maximize the impact. We felt that a gift to child care would be one that provided an immediate impact in an area of critical importance. Nancy Borghesi (’69 BA L&S), married to David (’70 BBA) |

| What is the relationship between the Foundation, Wisconsin Alumni Association and Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation? | | Established in 1945 by a small group of loyal volunteers, the UW Foundation was one of three organizations created by visionary UW alumni working to ensure a productive future for the University of Wisconsin.
The other members of the trio included the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA), established 80 years earlier to maintain contact with far-flung graduates, and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), created in 1925 to assist in patenting and licensing technology created by UW scientists and researchers.
The Foundation completed the threesome as a gifts and bequests council to encourage a growing practice of making gifts to the University. |
