Information on Tax Deductibility

Since 1973, State, UW and UW Health employees in Dane County have come together as Partners in Giving and raised over $85 million for hundreds of local, national and international charities.  Why? The answer is simple: they care about others and have been making a difference locally and around the world for 50 years.

With the 2018 Tax Reform Law, the charitable giving deduction itself continues.  Charitable contributions to the Partners In Giving Campaign remain tax deductible.

We encourage you to speak to your financial advisor or tax professional with any question regarding tax deductions for charitable gifts.
