Many employers will match gifts made to the UW-Stout Foundation by their employees. These matching funds could double or triple the impact of the original gift. Gifts of cash, and in some cases, securities are eligible for matching. When a gift is matched, the matched amount goes toward the same program that your initial gift supported.
