Students at the terrace.

Wisconsin Union Annual Fund

The Wisconsin Union is where the magic of connection, discovery, and possibility unfolds every day. From sunsets on the Terrace to energizing activities at Union South, it’s the place where Badgers come together to dream big and create unforgettable moments. During the 2025 Day of the Badger, you have the chance to keep that magic alive! 

How your gifts make an impact 

Your generosity fuels the magic and opens doors to new possibilities for students: 

  • Outdoor UW programs are accessible to everyone, helping students explore Wisconsin’s natural beauty and build meaningful connections. 
  • A chef-in-residence inspires sustainability and fosters community through innovative farm-to-table culinary experiences. 
  • To address the loneliness epidemic, Sett Recreation activities (including indoor bowling, billiards, and the climbing wall at Union South) bring students together to form friendships and lasting memories. 

Every dollar you give directly supports programs that transform the student experience and create opportunities that last a lifetime. 

Why we need your support 


The Wisconsin Union depends on the Badger community to sustain and grow its programs. Your gift during Day of the Badger’s 1,848 minutes of giving helps today’s students — and generations to come — experience the magic of the Union. Together, we can make an even greater impact. 

Join thousands of fellow Badgers in this special celebration of giving. Whether it’s your first gift or your fiftieth, every contribution makes a difference. Let’s come together to fuel possibilities and create a brighter future for all. 

Be the magic. Make your gift today. 

Gifts will be contributed to the Wisconsin Union Annual Fund – 112907770 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
