We recognize the needs the University continues to have in attracting funding, especially scholarship funding. One of the opportunities we saw was to help develop the next generation of leaders in education.

Recognition

Recognition programs at the University of Wisconsin Foundation are designed to acknowledge the significant contributions of our donors and are an important part of the Foundation's program.

For those contributors whose level of support represents an extraordinary commitment to excellence at UW-Madison, special recognition is provided through annual giving clubs in the various schools and colleges and these Foundation giving clubs:
  • Bascom Hill Society Associates - gifts of $2,500+
  • Bascom Hill Society - recognizes cumulative giving of at least $25,000 or a $50,000 deferred gift commitment

A Legacy of Giving

The Foundation also recognizes donors who have made a deferred gift through the Legacy honor club. Further information about the Legacy honor club is available by contacting Russ Howes, vice president, planned giving, legal affairs.
