UW Men's Rugby Sustaining Campaign

Welcome to our registration engine for the UW Rugby Sustaining Fund. You are about to cement your place in UW Rugby history. Times are changing in collegiate rugby. The low level of organization and social focus of years past has given way to incredible competition in the Big Ten and across the nation. Programs are elevating their game in regard to coaching, facilities, equipment and travel. Current budget requirements have pushed well over $20,000 annually, without addressing tournament travel, with player registration fees approaching $500. Funding is essential in order to ensure that our Badgers can compete, and your contribution is critical in making this possible. Our goal for this Sustaining Fund is to address budgetary needs including program costs for the league, matches, gear, training, required league travel and coaching. We plan to hit the ground running when pandemic restrictions are lifted.

Strength is in numbers and our goal is to enroll every UW Rugby Alumnus. We have thus added a new $5/month membership level. If every one of us simply signed up for this level - the cost of a Starbucks coffee drink or a cheap lunch - this would provide tremendous financial stability to the club. This also allows every Alumnus to make a statement and to continue to be a part of the club that gave so much to all of us. We have enlisted the services of Kindful to ensure secure transactions and allow us to properly track your donations. 100% of the proceeds of this sustaining fund go directly to UW Rugby. Donations are processed through Madison United Rugby, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and are tax-deductible to the extent applicable by law. Should you have any questions, please contact Tiffany Houtsinger at murugbydirector@gmail.com.
