What’s Partners in Giving?

Partners in Giving is the Dane County portion of the statewide state employee combined campaign, an annual workplace fundraising campaign for state employees.

More than 520 charitable organizations, including 11 charitable umbrella groups representing the charities, are participating. Charities must pass eligibility standards to participate in the campaign.

Since its inception in 1973, Partners in Giving has raised more than $81 million for charitable causes.

In 2020 the Partners in Giving campaign raised more than $2.1 million for over 500 charities from 6,400 state, university and UW Hospital and Clinics (now UW Health) employees in Dane County.

Employees can contribute online by credit card or payroll deduction. Employees may also select another giving option (cash, check or payroll contribution) using a traditional paper pledge form.
