Five years. Thousands of UWM community members. Millions of dollars and countless possibilities. That’s the story of 414 for UWM Giving Days.
On April 13 and 14, Panthers supporters around the world will unite to pave the path of possibilities for UWM students, research and community programming. And as the sixth-annual 414 for UWM Giving Days approaches, hopes are high for topping the record-breaking 2,028 donors who gave more than $1.3 million in 2025.
Early giving is underway with real-time updates available at uwm414day.org, where people can make their gift to the UWM Foundation through a secure digital transaction. Donors can support any of the 250-plus areas that are close to their heart, including scholarships like the Panther Pathways Scholarship Fund, athletics and other efforts that enhance the student experience.
The website also lists more than 30 challenges from generous donors that will unlock extra support for UWM when specific giving goals are met.

It’s all part of alumni, employees, parents, students and friends joining together to showcase Panther pride while making a difference for UWM. Together, they’re paving the path of possibilities for the trailblazers of tomorrow.
