Giving in Memory of a Friend or Loved One

Making a gift in memory of a deceased friend or loved one is a meaningful tribute. The family of the deceased will be incredibly appreciative, and you will find fulfillment by honoring your friend or loved one in a way that helps others.

If you are writing an obituary for someone who recently died and wish to suggest memorial gifts, we recommend language (which you can modify) such as:

Memorial gifts may be made to support [Name of Department or Program], c/o UW Foundation, U.S. Bank Lockbox, Box 78807, Milwaukee, WI 53278-0807 or wiscmedicine.org.

We recognize that when the unexpected happens, you may not have time to make all of the necessary calls before needing to communicate your family’s wishes.

If you have any questions, please contact:
