Support WI STEP
How Your Donation Affects Our Organization
We are preparing to launch the Wisconsin Science, Technology, and Engineering Policy (WI STEP) Fellowship, placing PhD scientists in the Wisconsin Legislature, enhancing the capacity of legislative service agencies to advance evidence-informed policy deliberations.
Your contribution demonstrates community commitment to this effort and will help us reach our fundraising goals to launch the fellowship.
If you’re able, a monthly gift is the most powerful way to support this work, building the steady capacity needed to train and place fellows year-round.
Other Ways to Give to WI STEP
Your support is vital to advancing WI STEP’s mission. Whether you are considering a major gift or a grassroots contribution, there are several ways you can make a difference. Contributions can be made by check, bank transfer, donor-advised funds, or through gifts of appreciated stock.
For major donors or those interested in exploring transformative giving opportunities, we would love to discuss how your contribution can have the greatest impact. Please contact us to start the conversation. To get in touch with us please send an email to info@wistep.org.
Your Support Matters
WI STEP is part of a growing national movement to embed scientific expertise in state governments. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation recently awarded a grant to the Pew Charitable Trusts to create matching funds that will expand state and territorial science policy fellowships nationwide. This matching fund will support up to 18 fellowship programs in their first four years. WI STEP seeks to leverage national matching funds with local and regional giving to lead in connecting science and governance at the state level.
WI STEP is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with fiscal sponsorship through the Goodnation Foundation. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. You will receive a receipt by email if you give online; all other gifts will receive a receipt by mail.
