Fundraising Resources

​The Advancement Office serves as the fundraising arm of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Its purpose is to “advance” the mission of the University through community relations and philanthropic support. All fundraising efforts conducted on campus should be brought to the attention of the Advancement Office. In doing so, the Advancement Office can help coordinate resources and work with our colleagues to develop a strategic fundraising plan that supports the mission and compliments the overall advancement initiatives for the University. To help balance the resources of the Advancement Office with the fundraising needs across campus, we have created an application process for those seeking funds.
