Earlier in 2021, our partners at UW Credit Union announced the Fund for Racial Equity. This fund was fueled by their desire to help push progress forward and build a more equitable future in Wisconsin and Dane County.
This $1 Million investment from UW Credit Union – along with $400,000 in emergency and recovery funds contributed by us at United Way of Dane County – went towards helping local organizations that aim to improve the financial well-being and capacity of Black, Indigenous and people of color in our community.
This application process is now closed and all recipients have been chosen and awarded.
