UW-Milwaukee plays a vital role in our community. Our faculty, staff, students, donors and alumni help thousands of people lift themselves toward a better future each year.

We invite you be part of these success stories by making a gift to the Panther Pathways Scholarship or the area of UWM that is most meaningful to you. It’s a perfect way to show your support for the university we all love.

You can give to UWM in a variety of ways, including donating online, making a gift by mail or even doing an IRA distribution. You can also explore options such as tax-smart gifts, faculty/staff payroll deductions or planned giving.

414 for UWM Giving Days is the university’s annual giving event, beginning on April 14, in conjunction with the city’s official “Milwaukee Day” holiday. By investing in UWM, you are also making an investment in the future of Milwaukee … and beyond!
