Join a 53-year tradition of caring
Partners in Giving is the nationally-recognized state employee workplace fundraising campaign in Dane County, raising millions of dollars each year for over 500 charities. Since 1973, employees have contributed $90 million through the Partners in Giving Campaign. Last year, more than 3,700 state, university, and UW Health employees donated over $1.9 million to local, state, national, and international charities.
It’s your turn!
The active phase of this year’s campaign runs through Dec. 2. You can make a pledge online — it’s easy and safe – or mail your contribution. Learn more about all the ways you can give here.
Did you know that if every FP&M employee pledged $1 a month for a year, our division could donate more than $12,000? For the latest Partners in Giving drive, you’ll have plenty of ways to give to our community. From hybrid events and money wars, to drawings for prizes, you can get in on the fun and create positive change locally and globally.

Cutest Pet Contest (Costumes Optional)
October 21 – 28
FP&M’s Cutest Pet Contest is back and better than ever! This year we’re recognizing more than one furry (or feathered, or scaley) friend and will include winners in the categories of dog, cat, and other. As we gear up for Halloween, costumes are welcome but totally optional, because every pet is adorable just as they are!
Submit your pet photo to Andrew Brunner by Oct. 17 to be included. We’ll update you when voting is live.
Remember, a suggested donation of $2/vote supports your favorite pets and Partners in Giving.
Penny Wars
November 10 – 26
Prepare for the ultimate clash of coins and kindness in our Partners in Giving Penny Wars competition! Engage in a friendly battle of giving, where every penny, nickel, dime, quarter or more becomes a powerful tool for change. Your spare cash will help support our Partners in Giving campaign and make a lasting difference in the lives of those in need. Add pennies to your jars and sabotage your opponents with bigger change and paper money!
Rules: Pennies are positive points for your department, office, or shop. All other denominations of change and cash count as negative points when added to a different team’s jar.
- Pennies = 1 positive point
- Nickels = 5 negative points
- Dimes = 10 negative points
- Quarters = 25 negative points
- $1 = 100 negative points
- $5 = 500 negative points
- $10 = 1000 negative points
No money can be removed from a jar for any reason.
