UW–Madison Extension will receive the 2024 Partners in Giving Award for having seen the greatest percentage increase in participation and contributions to the 2024 campaign. Extension will be recognized at a ceremony on March 11 at Union South.

Extension had 33 donors and raised a total of just over $14,500. Extension piloted several initiatives in 2024 to increase awareness of the Partners in Giving campaign. Most notably, Extension hosted an informational booth at its annual conference that brings together the division’s nearly 1,000 employees. Extension employees could donate to the campaign and write a message of gratitude to be displayed during the conference (pictured above).
