Building the Legacy Fund The Clean Wisconsin Legacy Fund provides consistent revenue, ensuring that we will have the funds necessary to take on the biggest threats to Wisconsin’s water and air and continue to push for cleaner energy. An endowment is an organization’s financial cornerstone, and Clean Wisconsin has a remarkable opportunity to build our endowment fund. The Madison Community Foundation has issued a challenge to the environmental community by generously offering $100,000 to be used as matching funds to gifts made to our endowment fund. We need to raise $300,000 to receive the funds. In honor of our 40th anniversary in 2010, Clean Wisconsin cofounder Doug La Follette generously donated $100,000 to our Legacy Fund. We now need your help to raise the remaining $200,000. Making a contribution to an endowment is an act of great generosity and vision. Legacy donors understand the importance of supporting the organization not only during their lifetime, but for generations to come. These visionary individuals are building an extraordinary resource for our continued work.
