Make A Donation                     1999-2007 Donors

The Wisconsin Connection Fund was established in 1997 by alumni of the University of Wisconsin Madison as an endowed scholarship fund for undergraduate and graduate students of the UW - Madison Real Estate Program. The Fund is controlled in it's entirety by the Wisconsin Connection Fund Committee and is invested in the University of Wisconsin Foundation to assure maximum growth potential of the principal. The fund surpassed its $100k scholarship goal in 2000 and will be positioned in 2004 to award the first Wisconsin Connection half-time Graduate Fellowship. to draw $6,000 annually for the purpose of awarding the highly sought after "Connection Fund" scholarships. Since 1997, the fund's objectives have expanded to include financial support of Real Estate Faculty. This is of particular value since the phenomenal growth of the program at the undergraduate level has led to a real need for new faculty.

Each alumni transaction resulting in a donation to the fund is featured in a subsequent issue of the Equity Kicker, WREAA's newsletter. A record of all transactions to the fund exists to ensure that individual contributors are personally and permanently recognized. In addition, an annual award is presented during the Biennial Wisconsin Real Estate Conference recognizing the Transaction of the Year. Alumni are encouraged to consider commemorating "Wisconsin" transactions by making a donation to the fund. All contributions are tax deductible and should be made payable to the "UW Foundation."
