Supporting UW-Stout's legacy

Portrait of Katharine Reed.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Stout University Foundation website. I hope the stories and information you find here will inspire you to support UW-Stout University and its students. 

Each year, alumni and friends, along with our corporate and foundation partners – through the Stout University Foundation – provide transformative support in so many ways to our great University. In fact, in the fiscal year 2022, loyal donors contributed $6,046,935 in new gifts and pledges. This level of support is indicative of the strong loyalty, passion and commitment expressed by so many Stout alumni and friends. It amazes me when I hear stories from people whose lives have been transformed by Stout, and now they want to give back. It is why I love what I do, and it is the primary purpose our Foundation exists.

Your philanthropic giving enables the University to provide much needed student, faculty, research, and program support. Private support can often make the difference between good and great for students, faculty, and staff. 

 

Your interest in the Stout University Foundation and your understanding of the need for private support is deeply appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you desire more information or have questions.

Gratefully,

Katharine Reed
Vice Chancellor of Advancement & Alumni Relations
Executive Director of the Stout University Foundation
