Ways You Can Contribute to GCSF
AUCTION ITEM DONATION
Your in-kind donation of products, goods or services will be used as an auction item at the Annual & Dinner Auction event which takes place the first Thursday each February. The Annual Dinner & Auction is held at The Quilted Bear in Germantown.
CASH CONTRIBUTION
Your donation will be used to underwrite scholaships, the Annual
Dinner& Auction, or placed in the Endowment Fund.
ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP CONTRIBUTION
A donation of $1,000 or more can create an earmarked scholarship
from you, your organization or business. The scholarship can hold specific
criteria such as: only available to a student attending University of
Wisconsin schools, certain athletics or a particular academic discipline.
Funds must be received by March 1st in order to be presented at the Senior
Scholarship Awards Night in May.
ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP CONTRIBUTION
These types of contributions are funds that the donor wants the
Germantown Community Scholarship Fund to hold and award over time. In addition to setting specific scholarship criteria, the donor(s)
may also name the scholarship. This type of contribution can also be used to
set up a Memorial Scholarship, a wonderful way to honor a loved one’s
passing.
GET A MATCHING GIFT FROM YOUR EMPLOYER
Many corporations will match the gifts made by their employees and
retirees to a qualified non-profit organization. Companies usually
match the tax-deductible portion of your gift, which means that your
contributions to the Germantown Community Scholarship Fund could qualify.

the list and what you can do to double your gift.
AUCTION EVENT SPONSORSHIP
For a donation to the Germantown Scholarship Fund, your business would be listed as the event sponsor for the Annual Dinner & Auction in February.
