Ryan Cofield Indirect Lending Operations Manager Wasn't to sure about the forecast, but you know what they say, if you don’t like the weather in Wisconsin just wait five minutes. Thankfully, the weather held out long enough for our group to get some grilling in at hashtag#bratfest2024. I am so thankful to work for an organization that promotes community. hashtag#IWorkForUWCU.

UW Credit Union is a big believer in the power of community, and that spirit was at the forefront of the recent United Way of Dane County Community Celebration. As a proud presenting sponsor of the event and longtime fundraising partner, it was an honor to attend the event and celebrate the power of collective impact. Together, organizations like ours raised an impressive $16.8 million in support of family well-being, ensuring more people in Dane County can lead healthy, fulfilling lives. We were also honored to receive the Accelerating Impact Award, given to companies that grew their financial impact the most. In 2023, our workplace giving campaign raised a record-breaking $285,000 to benefit United Way Dane County. We’re proud of the work we’ve done as an organization to support much-needed resources in our community. Thank you to United Way Dane County for honoring us with this award. Our whole team is proud!

October was a big month for UWCU! We held our annual workplace giving campaign, which benefits United Way of Dane County, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County, Community Shares of Wisconsin and other United Ways throughout the state. Each year, this employee-led campaign brings all 900+ team members together to not only raise money to support the areas where we live and work, but also to learn more about the needs of those in our communities. Highlights from this year’s campaign include: -Attending campaign kickoff events in both Madison and Milwaukee -A bus tour in Milwaukee where we learned about Literacy Services of Wisconsin and WRTP | BIG STEP -A bus tour in Madison to Operation Fresh Start -A company-wide Silent Auction that raised nearly $20,000 -A drag bingo event featuring Madison’s Cynthia Mooseknuckle that made us laugh out loud while raising money -A potluck breakfast And more! Better still, we’re proud to share that through employee pledges – which are matched by UW Credit Union – events and a corporate gift, we collectively raised nearly $370,000! These funds will make a great impact throughout Wisconsin thanks to our partners at United Way and Community Shares. A big thank you to all employees who participated, and a special shoutout to our three campaign leaders: Cailley Hammel, Courtney O’Brien-Manders and Kelley Lawrenz!
