Through your support, the Wisconsin Union develops student leaders, enriches arts and recreation, and sustains traditions that help Badgers explore their passions, build connections, and thrive.
Giving Opportunities
André De Shields Fund
Your gift helps UW–Madison undergraduates become creative visionaries who transform their ideas into action by developing, designing, producing, and performing original works that spark dialogue and reflection. Through seed grants of $1,000 to $3,000, students receive not only funding but mentorship and resources to encourage success.
Undergraduate Student Success Fund
Student leaders organize thousands of events and experiences at the Union. Your gift supports student leaders who dedicate their time and creativity to creating the experiences that bring campus — and our entire community — together.
Wisconsin Union Annual Fund
A gift to the Annual Fund allows the Union to continue its long-standing tradition of producing unforgettable experiences while delivering unmatched student leadership opportunities.
Hoofers Student Leader Training Fund
Your gift to the Hoofer Student Leader Training Fund provides scholarships for students to earn essential safety and leadership certifications—like Wilderness First Aid, US Sailing, and Professional Climbing Instructor credentials. These experiences help student leaders gain valuable skills, mentor their peers, and keep outdoor adventures accessible to all.
Wisconsin Singers Fund
The Wisconsin Singers are the University’s official Ambassadors of Goodwill. Your gift helps fund professional, high-quality performances for communities that may not otherwise have access to the arts.
