Fund for Excellence Recipients Announced
Thank you to everyone who submitted a request for funding to the Fund for Excellence. There were 13 requests made totaling $253,000 in support. Requests spanned all areas of the University, and faculty and staff should be encouraged by the list of innovative ideas that were brought forth. A three-person committee with the UW-Green Bay Foundation awarded the $100,000 that was this initial funding cycle. The cycle is now closed but we hope to offer this opportunity again in the future.
Congratulations to the following programs on their Fund for Excellence award!
- Undergraduate Admissions Self-Directed Campus Tour Development

The Fund for Excellence was created to address the need for these small but impactful projects and ideas to be funded, that aren’t part of the regular gifting options. These first recipients are poised to make a difference with our students and the community. Together we rise!
