Supporting UW-Stout's Legacy

Welcome Alumni, Donors & Supporters

Thank you for visiting the Stout University Foundation website. We 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 us to hear stories from people whose lives have been transformed by Stout, and now they want to give back. It is why we love what we do, and it is the primary purpose our Foundation exists.
