If you are reading this, then your life — in some measure — has been touched by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The Society's many achievements over the years are a testament to the legacy of an extended family of supporters. Through their generosity, they have passed on their values of preserving and sharing Wisconsin's rich history. Just like those who came before us, it is now a new generation's turn to rise to the challenge and support the Society — for the stories it tells, for the values it reaffirms, and for the enlightenment and enjoyment it provides today and for generations to come. Making your donation today to the Wisconsin Historical Foundation is the best way to do your part.

The Society relies on the investment of both private and public dollars to keep pace with the growing needs and expectations of our constituents. Without your support, it would not be possible for us to provide the programs, services, collections, exhibits and historic sites that help us collect, preserve and share the stories that comprise Wisconsin history. But, with your support, here are some of the milestones we've reached in the past few months:

These accomplishments were not the result of a single act, but the cumulative result of many thoughtful individual acts. The same holds true with donations. Your generous gift of $25, $50, $100 or more makes a real difference in the work we do.

The Wisconsin Historical Foundation, established for the exclusive support of the Wisconsin Historical Society and its mission, offers a variety of ways to contribute to the Society's work. The Foundation has been the official fundraising organization for the Society since 1954.
