The greater Madison community came together to raise $17.3 million during the 2024 United Way Community Fundraising Campaign, the United Way of Dane County announced on Wednesday.
The United Way of Dane County hosted a Community Celebration on Feb. 25 with more than 500 community members joining the non-profit organization at the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center.
“I’m always awe-struck by the incredible generosity of our community,” says Renee Moe, president & CEO of United Way of Dane County, in a statement. “I’m grateful to every community member who trusts us with their hard-earned dollars, knowing we will multiply them and be accountable stewards. We know times are uncertain and challenging, and there are so many options for where to invest your money. By giving to United Way, you’re amplifying your impact and advancing solutions. Thank you for being a part of the Power of Caring. Working for All.”

“United Way of Dane County is the unifying force that brings together hundreds of local nonprofits, businesses, community leaders, families, donors and volunteers to address big-picture issues no one person or organization can solve alone,” Barton says. “I’m so grateful to have had the chance to lead this campaign, and thankful to every individual and organization who trusted us with their generosity this year. Because of you, we can create greater impact in Dane County.”
