Excellence Fund

What We're Fundraising For

The Excellence Fund supports the greatest needs of the university, including:

  • Emergency support for students
  • Student scholarships
  • Research opportunities
  • Study abroad programs
  • Internships and field experience
  • Professional development for students, faculty and staff
  • Academic programs

Your Impact

Your gift to the Excellence Fund steps in where tuition and state funding fall short to provide invaluable learning opportunities and support for students at UW-Eau Claire. You will join nearly 3,000 alumni and friends each year donate to the Excellence Fund to support UW-Eau Claire's greatest needs. Gifts of any amount made to the Excellence Fund will make a difference for current and future Blugolds!

Matching Gift Opportunity

This year, Gary Withers ’79 and his wife Lori are matching all gifts to the Excellence Fund dollar-for-dollar up to $20,000!

What began in 2019 as a $10,000 match has now grown. Gary and Lori have once again stepped forward to encourage alumni participation and will be matching all donations up to $20,000 made to the UW-Eau Claire Excellence Fund! Your donation to the Excellence Fund will support areas of greatest need at UWEC, including scholarships, research opportunities, strong academic programs and other high-impact experiences. Make it an excellent day with Gary and Lori by making a donation towards the Excellence Fund!
