Donate

We remain committed to being a trusted steward of public funds and private philanthropy that advances early care and education and the early childhood workforce in Wisconsin. We are grateful for our donors’ generous financial and in-kind support, and we will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of this critically important sector.

The Big Share®

Wow! The Big Share raised a grand total of $684,148 – of which, $6,523 will support WECA’s work on behalf of early care and education in Wisconsin. We extend our deepest appreciation to donors, peer-to-peer champions, and all who support the early childhood community – during The Big Share and all year round. The gifts we received during this year’s campaign will help WECA continue to be nimble and responsive in addressing child care challenges and advancing progress and opportunities across the state.  

And community generosity continues! People are still making their donations to the 67 organizations participating in The Big Share. If you haven’t had the opportunity to contribute, and feel inspired to do so, we would be honored to receive your support.

Why I Give

“I donate to WECA because of its proven track record of being a valuable resource for child care professionals across Wisconsin. WECA’s efforts in advocacy and resource development ensure providers are equipped to deliver high-quality care to children. Families, in turn, know their young children are in an environment fostering their growth and well-being. I know my contribution plays a role in helping WECA make that difference.”
