How Gifts Make a Difference
By making a gift today, you’re supporting the Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association Fund. The WMAA connects our community of alumni and students to build a stronger UW School of Medicine and Public Health — made possible through donations to the WMAA Fund. The difference your philanthropy makes is best summed up by our medical students:
“Thank you so much for your support of the WMAA Fund. I’m from out of state and the WMAA has made me feel right at home – the career events and study snacks sponsored by the WMAA make my days brighter. I am truly grateful to be a part of this amazing SMPH community and I plan to give back someday, too.”
— Alex, MD Candidate 2025
Why We Need Your Support
In an era of declining state support, all donations to the WMAA Fund go directly to advance our mission of serving both students and alumni by:
- Enhancing students’ academic experience by funding initiatives — such as student interest groups and wellness programs — and milestone moments like White Coat and Match Day.
- Providing specialty exploration and networking opportunities to connect students with alumni.
- Creating occasions for alumni to “come home,” whether as a mentor or speaker; by reading Quarterly magazine; or to celebrate a reunion, award, or graduation.
Your gift to the WMAA Fund allows us to provide a helping hand that makes our school special. Thank you!
