Welcome! Thank you for being here and for considering your first-ever gift in support of the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
By giving during Day of the Badger, you can double your impact (or maybe even triple it) when you donate $100 or more.
How to Match Your Gift
- Make a gift of $100 or more to the fund of your choice. That’s right, choose any cause that’s close to your heart (every fund is eligible).
- That gift will be matched and make twice the impact courtesy of Mary and Mike Jensen. Important: to secure your match, you must ensure that the “first-time donor” box is checked when you donate.
- Here’s where it gets exciting: If the fund you choose is attached to another match or challenge, that can be stacked on top of your first-time donor match (e.g. you give $100 + first-time donor match $100 + fund match $100 = $300!).
- It’s as simple as that to really see your impact soar!
