Pioneer Giving Communities
The mission of the Pioneer Giving Communities is to honor, recognize, and celebrate the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Foundation and Alumni Association’s most generous alumni and friends, fostering a strong connection between our donors, the university, and their contributions. Members of these communities represent not only special levels of giving but also a vital part of the university’s future success.
The Pioneer Giving Communities celebrates donors across a broad spectrum of giving levels. It features seven distinct communities, each offering unique benefits and opportunities, with tiers ranging from $2,500 to over $1,000,000 of lifetime giving.
Donors are recognized for their generosity with a distinctive pin for each level achieved, symbolizing their lasting impact and commitment.
As part of this exclusive program, these communities recognize Pioneers whose dedication helps drive the continued growth and success of the UW-Platteville Foundation and Alumni Association. Your generosity is essential to UW-Platteville’s future and demonstrates your commitment to the value of a Pioneer education.
