What’s New?

Theme: The Partners in Giving 2021 Campaign theme is “Make an Impact!”. No one should have to live without hope. During this year’s campaign, we are banding together to create hope for people, families and communities in need at home, across the country, and around the world.

Paper Pledge Form: Employees may give with a paper form. The new form process will save the Campaign thousands of dollars and create a more efficient way of handling your paper pledges. Be sure to fill out the complete form, including your contact information.

PLEASE NOTE: The new form means you will no longer automatically receive a copy of your paper pledge form donation. Please make a digital or photocopy of the paper pledge form before handing it in, or use your phone to snap a picture of it for your files, if you wish to have a copy.

If you need help, please ask your volunteer coordinator to make you a copy of your pledge form or ask the fiscal agent for a copy by calling 608-246-4350.

Remember, your giving history is always available online by logging into the Donate Now giving portal at www.giving.wi.gov.

Donors who give by cash, check, or credit card will automatically receive a receipt for tax purposes for a single payment of $250 or more. The fiscal agent will send it by US mail.
There are several options in giving including online, printing your own paper pledge form, getting materials from your coordinator, or have materials mailed to you. For a list of giving options click here.
