Who We Are
Fostering Success is a program that provides resources, services, and support for students who have formerly been in foster care, are experiencing homelessness, or may lack family support. Fostering Success provides the following:
- Campus store (free school supplies, household supplies, toiletries and more)
- A laptop for use for the academic year
- Need-based scholarships
- Student involvement opportunities
- Monthly activities
- A network of professionals ready to support you in your UWEC journey
What We're Fundraising For
Your support fuels so much more than just programs—it builds a home away from home for our students. Students come together for Meaningful Meals, where they share not just food, but laughs, stories, and a sense of belonging. These meals are lovingly prepared by UWEC faculty, staff, and community members, creating a cozy family vibe that students without a traditional support system cherish.
But that’s not all! Your donations also help us stock our Campus Store, where students can grab essentials like school supplies, toiletries, and even household goods—free of charge. Think of it as a one-stop shop for success!
Your Impact
When you give to Fostering Success, you’re doing more than donating—you’re changing lives. Your contributions empower students to achieve their dreams, providing them with the tools, support, and confidence they need to succeed.
Your donation could help a student feel the joy of a warm, homemade meal after a long day of classes, ease the stress of affording school supplies, or give them the confidence to pursue leadership opportunities. By supporting Fostering Success, you’re showing these students that someone believes in them—that they’re not alone on their journey.
Together, we can turn challenges into triumphs, and create a brighter future for every student in need. Let’s make a difference—one meal, one scholarship, one smile at a time.
Matching Gift Opportunity
This year, all gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000. Make your gift on Giving Tuesday to DOUBLE your gift and ensure all students can find their home at UW-Eau Claire.
