Partners in Giving Celebrates 50 Years

The 50th annual Partners in Giving campaign has kicked off!

UW–Madison employees can donate to the local, national, and international charities of their choice to make a difference in the causes they care about. Online pledges can be made through payroll deduction or by credit card at giving.wi.gov.

Information about other ways give, such as using a paper pledge form, can be found at giving.wi.gov/about-us/options-for-giving.

As little as $1 per pay period adds up to make a positive impact in our community and around the world.

New this year are virtual Charity Lunch and Learns. On-campus campaign activities run through November 30, 2022; contributions are welcomed through May 2023.

Housing is offering several special events throughout October and November to give alternate ways to support the Partners in Giving Campaign. Details can be found on the HR Toolbox at Partners in Giving Campaign 2022 – HR Toolbox (wisc.edu)

Housing Guess Who?

Submit your photograph and participate in this year’s Partners in Giving virtual game Housing Guess Who?

We need your help! We are looking for photos of Housing staff members from a different age in your life, where you may or may not be recognizable, to be used in our Guess Who game slideshow. So show off that old prom dress or tuxedo, bad 80s perm, high school senior photo, favorite Halloween costume, or let everyone know you were the cutest baby. Upload your photo here or email to akramper@wisc.edu

Want to play? Register to participate in our game here, for Tuesday November 8th at 3pm. Suggested donation for players is $5. This zoom event will feature a picture slide show set to music and a downloadable playing card listing of all Housing staff names who submitted a photo for contestants to match.

If you submit a photo, you can still play! You just will not receive a point for matching your own photograph.

If you have questions email akramper@wisc.edu
