Giving
Why give to Letters & Science?
Gifts from students, alumni and friends support the College's teaching, research and public service. Private support from alumni and friends now makes up about 18 percent of the UW-Madison budget with state support providing 15 percent.
Gifts are used to immediately support innovative learning opportunities, reward top faculty and support student-lead programs and organizations that would otherwise go unfunded.
You play a crucial role in our future by ensuring the value of a Letters & Science degree for future Badgers.
