Design the Future With Us
Every gift impacts the lives of our students, shaping their experiences and their futures. Your contributions help feed students through our on-campus food pantry, fuel dreams by providing scholarships, and support cutting-edge labs, and programs. You are helping us train and develop the best and brightest minds, who will make a big difference through their research, discoveries, leadership and their polytechnic approach.
Your support doesn’t just change individual lives; it transforms the entire Stout community, building a more vibrant future for all of us. Thanks to generous donors we have challenges to reach goals in specific areas across the university:

Many employers will match gifts made to the UW-Stout Foundation by their employees. These matching funds could double or triple the impact of the original gift. Gifts of cash, and in some cases, securities are eligible for matching. When a gift is matched, the matched amount goes toward the same program that your initial gift supported.
