UWRF Impact Week: December 1-5
A Gift That Gives to so Many
This December, we’re taking the spirit of Giving Tuesday and extending it through an entire week of generosity and Falcon pride. All gifts made now through December 31 count toward our Impact Week total and your year-end, tax-deductible contribution will go even further by supporting what matters most at UW-River Falls.
A gift to the UWRF Impact Fund is more than a donation. It’s a promise to stay agile, responsive and focused on what matters most: our students and community.
A New Tradition of Giving
Welcome to Impact Week, a celebration of Falcon pride and the extraordinary power of collective giving. The UWRF Impact Fund is our most flexible and forward-focused source of support. It allows the university to act quickly, meet emerging needs and invest in opportunities that create meaningful, lasting change. Because priorities can shift, challenges can arise and opportunities can appear in an instant—unrestricted giving keeps us ready. It’s how we show our students, faculty and community that they are our #1 priority.
“The Multiplier Effect”
Each unrestricted gift fuels forward motion. It powers fundraising that, in turn, supports scholarships, innovative programs and transformational learning experiences, creating ripples of impact that reach far beyond campus.
An unrestricted gift doesn’t just fill a need, it fuels progress.
Why Your Support Matters
Higher education remains one of the most powerful investments in people and possibility. Every day, students step onto our campus full of potential. Through your support, they leave ready to lead, innovate and serve their communities. Your gift helps UW-River Falls:
Stay nimble and responsive to emerging needs.
Empower faculty innovation and student success.
Expand access to opportunity.
Strengthen the student experience across campus.
Unrestricted giving ensures that, no matter what the future holds, we’re ready to rise to the moment together.
The Challenge Gift Opportunity
When Falcons unite, their impact multiplies. During Impact Week, every unrestricted gift helps unlock Challenge Gift dollars, made possible by generous alumni and friends who believe in the power of collective action.
Want to magnify your impact? Those who commit $1,000 or more to the Challenge Gift pool will be recognized as champions of this new tradition—helping ensure UWRF can continue to respond where support is needed most.
