How to make a gift

DONATE TO A FUND HERE.

At the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, we value all charitable donations, large or small. Your willingness to support your community according to your interests and ability to give is at the heart of our mission to match personal philanthropy to community needs. Any donation to any of our component funds is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. All donations are welcome regardless of size.

You can also make a gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate or other assets, such as real property that will qualify for the maximum tax benefit under state and federal law. Learn about all the Ways to Give, including deferred gifts and/or life income gifts, such stocks, gifts from your IRA, charitable remainder trusts, and more.

Gift Acceptance Policy available upon request. Please email us or call 608-758-0883.

Note about online donations:

CFSW is charged a 3% processing fee on all transactions. We do not profit from these fees, as they are charged by the banks and credit card companies.

Because we want our donors to be comfortable in their giving strategy, we offer the option of adding the charged fee on to your gift so that 100% of your donation goes to your selected fund. (Not selecting that option results in your fund receiving 3% less than your gift amount.)

To avoid processing fees altogether, learn how to make an offline donation.
