The Partners in Giving Campaign is an opportunity for UWM faculty and staff to make a difference in southeast Wisconsin and beyond. UWM faculty, staff and alumni combine to donate thousands of dollars annually in cash and in-kind contributions! This year, our campaign again hopes to engage even more people from the campus community and support organizations in need.

Partners in Giving makes it easy to donate to hundreds of organizations that have an impact in our community. This includes both umbrella organizations and individual charities, with the campaign structure provided by the United Way ensuring your donations go to reputable, effective charities with a strong track record.

It’s Easy To Give

Every dollar counts

You can choose to give via a payroll deduction or simply make a one-time gift. Your school, college or department may also have special events designed to raise money for the campaign. Plus, you can pick where the money you donate goes!

On the online giving site, you will be able to look up individual charities, umbrella groups, read a short description of each organization, and click to be redirected to their individual website to read more about the work they do and how they impact our community.
