United Way of Dane County

We are excited to see everyone at the Women United Brunch tomorrow where we'll be raising money for financial security for women. Because we know that when more women are financially secure and on pathways towards success, entire generations of families are better positioned to thrive. We will also be honoring Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings as our 2024 Women in Philanthropy recipient - recognizing her achievements in educating, empowering and inspiring young women and girls to be leaders in Dane County! See you tomorrow (Friday, September 13) at Madison Marriott West at 8:30 am! #PowerofCaringWorkingforAll #WomenUnited

We were grateful for the opportunity to support a roundtable discussion yesterday led by U.S. Department of Education Deputy Secretary Cindy Marten at United Way of Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin, as a part of the Deputy Secretary’s 2024 Back-to-School Bus Tour. Participants included local practitioners supporting young people in Madison, local AmeriCorps program representatives, the state service commission, afterschool organizations, Madison Metropolitan School District representatives, and representatives from local youth-serving organizations engaged in tutoring, mentoring, success coaching, postsecondary transition coaching, and/or wraparound/integrated student supports. Renee Moe, President & CEO of United Way Dane County kicked off the welcomes along with Mayor Rhodes-Conway. Deputy Secretary Marten set the stage focusing the conversation on how we can get kids what they need when they need it and in the way that they need it, stressing “it doesn’t happen without partnership.” We had a lively discussion about cross-sector collaboration and partnerships to support students and sustaining NPSS-aligned efforts over the long term. Huge thank you to our host and the following organizations for participating! All-In Milwaukee Bayview Foundation, Inc.

It's about that time of year - UW Credit Union employees are gearing up for our annual Community Giving Campaign! We showed our support for our local United Way partners last month at Community Kickoff events for United Way of Dane County and United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County. Juan Antimo, Lynn Gurley, and Patrick A. are leading the efforts for this year's campaign at UWCU. They're aiming to reach our 900+ employees, meet our financial goals, and truly emphasize the why behind our commitment to our community. We're also cheering on Natalie Mendez Ponce as she's serving as a Loaned Executive to UWDC for this year's campaign season, collaborating with businesses across Dane County. This team is shining bright in support of our community! #CreditUnions #UnitedWay #UnitedWayGMWC #PowerofCaringWorkingforAll #IWork4UWCU

We were honored to kick off U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten's Back to School Bus Tour this morning.

United Way of Dane County was thrilled to host Deputy Secretary Cindy Marten on her first stop of the Back to School Bus Tour this morning! We’re so grateful she chose to visit Madison - and even more grateful for the space she gave for a robust and meaningful conversation. Thank you to all the local educators for coming together to share your experiences and collectively brainstorm around what more we can do to lift up students and their families. This kind of work is what it’s all about! #Powerofcaringworkingforall
