    The Madison College Foundation was established in 1973 to support Madison College and its students.

    The Foundation solicits, manages, and distributes gifts from alumni, corporations, foundations, community organizations, and other friends of the college. These generous gifts enhance Madison College's ability to provide an accessible, high quality education to meet student needs and help develop a highly skilled workforce for southern Wisconsin.

    Overall, the Foundation has disbursed more than $11 million in financial assistance to more than 33,000 Madison College students.

    Why Give?

    Giving Benefits Madison College

    Madison College derives most of its funding from tax revenues and student fees. There are many needs which cannot be met from these sources, including student scholarships and the development of new programs and projects to advance Madison College's mission. You can help individual students, the College, and the wider community served by the College through your gifts to Madison College.

    Giving Can Benefit You

    Of course, the greatest benefit is the knowledge that you have helped Madison College students to receive a better education, whether for a skilled trade or for college transfer. You can also pay tribute to significant persons and organizations through a named scholarship, loan or grant fund, or endowment fund. Donations to Madison College are tax-deductible. And for some donors, giving through wills and trusts can help with estate planning.
