Your gift is tax deductible. You will receive a gift receipt from the UW Foundation.
Your gift of any size will be used for the most important current CS
initiatives, ranging from enhancing the specific initiatives below
to special new or one-time projects. Each year CS alumni
and friends support the CS Annual Fund at levels from tens of dollars
to thousands of dollars.
The Department uses these gifts to strengthen all aspects of our mission,
including the activities below.
Annual fund gifts are important because
they are flexible and they have immediate impact.
Your gift of any size will support events that foster community within the CS
Department, such as informal dinners and pizza lunches for CS undergraduates,
the annual reception for our top-performing juniors and seniors, graduation
receptions for all CS graduates, refreshments before Department seminars,
the annual reception for incoming graduate students, CS alumni receptions
that foster ties among CS alumni, and the annual CS Awards Ceremony.
Some of these activities can only be funded by gifts directed to this
Fostering CS Community Fund.
Your gift of any size will enhance CS undergraduate education through
support of scholarships for exceptional students, summer Research
Assistantships, travel for undergraduates who join our highly successful
annual ACM Programming Contest teams, milestone meetings for the teams
who participate in our annual NEST (Nest for Emerging Software Technologies)
contest, and so forth. Scholarships of $2,500 or more are acknowledged
on our CS scholarships website.
Your gift of any size will support special Alumni Scholarships for the top
admits to our graduate program. These special one-time stipends make
our offer of guaranteed support competitive with offers from other top
CS departments, enabling us to attract the very best graduate students
which enhances the environment for all CS students. Donations of $2,500
or more are acknowledged on the CS Alumni Scholarships website.
Your gift of any size will enhance CS graduate education through
support of summer Research Assistantships for first year graduate
students, travel for graduate students participating in our highly
successful annual ACM Programming Contest teams, merit-based graduate
fellowships for our Ph.D. students, and so forth. Nine-month graduate fellowship gifts are acknowledged
on our
CS Graduate Fellowships website.
Your gift of any size supports recruitment of top new faculty,
for example by enhancing our offer of flexible funds for their
special research needs or by seeding an early hire in a key area
of need in advance of when the University can fully support the hire.
Major gifts for named endowed chairs and professorships recognize the
outstanding contributions of our very strongest faculty by providing
prestige and national visibility as well as discretionary funding
for their research. Endowed professorships are funded at a level
of $750,000 while endowed chairs are funded at $2 million.
The CS Department currently has two endowed chairs named for
the donor, John P. Morgridge.
Your gift of any size will support improvements to the CS building
for extra-curricular activities. State funds are used to create
research and instructional labs while private gifts enhance
the environment beyond what state funds provide for extra-curricular
activities. A recent example includes a major gift for remodeling of
our largest lecture hall, CS 1240, to greatly enhance the acoustics,
the presentation system, and the environment for interaction between
the speaker and the audience in extra-curricular department seminars
and meetings. An example current need is to upgrade our CS lobby
to provide attractive and effective spaces for undergraduates to
meet and study between classes.

Why Give to the Computer Sciences Department?
The generosity of alumni and friends supports many special CS projects that greatly
enhance our world class education and research mission, such as undergraduate
scholarships, summer Research Assistantships for undergraduates and first-year
graduate students, alumni scholarships for the top admits to our graduate program,
graduate fellowships for our Ph.D. students, early recruitment of new faculty in key
emerging areas, professorships for our most accomplished senior faculty, and distinctive
renovations in the CS building. Hence, gift dollars are responsible for much of the
Computer Sciences Department's progress, enabling us to recruit and retain top faculty,
recruit top graduate students, and recognize outstanding achievement by students and faculty at all levels.
Please consider donating to our continued success in preparing outstanding graduates
for the tremendous opportunities in this field. At right, you can direct your gift
to a specific type of project (e.g., CS Undergraduate Opportunities) or to the
overarching CS Annual Fund which will be used for the projects of greatest
current need. If you wish to direct your gift more specifically than the
projects at right, please contact one of the people on the Contact tab above.
Every gift matters! On behalf of future Wisconsin CS graduates, we greatly appreciate your support!
