Sentry School of Business and Economics Giving
Giving back and giving to the Sentry School of Business and Economics
The UW-Stevens Point Sentry School of Business and Economics is grateful to the many alumni and friends who have chosen to give back by contributing to our programs. Your gifts can significantly change a student’s life. It can also shape the future of business in Central and Northcentral Wisconsin by helping us build a workforce who will one day become the leaders of our region.
Make an annual gift in one of the following ways:
- Make a gift to an existing scholarship fund: Read about current business, accounting and economics scholarships.
- Make an undesignated gift to the Sentry School of Business and Economics: Unrestricted gifts support the activities and needs of the school as well as allow Sentry School to respond to arising needs in a flexible manner.
- To make an annual gift, click Give Now and select Sentry School of Business and Economics General Fund or search other funds.
Make a major gift
Unlike annual gifts, most major gifts create endowments – perhaps to establish a scholarship, support a faculty position, or support a particular program. Great care is made in matching donor interest with the many gift opportunities that exist in the UWSP Sentry School of Business and Economics. Once a donor has identified an initiative they would like to fund, we provide a detailed proposal that outlines the school’s need, the impact of their gift, and the stewardship process which allows us to keep the lifelong partnership intact. Major gifts create, supplement and, in many cases, perpetuate the extensive learning opportunities of students enrolled in the UWSP School of Business and Economics.
Jim and Madeleine Haine
Haines’ legacy gift fuels growth of the Sentry School
Thank you to Jim and Madeleine Haine who have committed an additional $500,000 to the UW-Stevens Point Sentry School of Business and Economics, bringing their lifetime gifts to more than $822,000. In honor of their generosity, the Sentry School of Business and Economics administrative suite will be named the James and Madeleine Haine Office in the remodeled Sentry Hall, set to open in 2028. Jim is a retired UWSP business law professor and Madeleine is a double alumna from UW-Stevens Point School of Education and retired teacher.
Planned Giving
“Leave Your Legacy” – Private giving to the Sentry School of Business and Economics helps to ensure that the college and our departments can continue to meet the diverse educational needs of our students. Although much of the support for our college comes in the form of cash donations, many donors choose to leave their legacy, and realize tremendous tax savings, through a planned gift. A planned gift is simply defined as a donation that requires some form of planning. Whether you seek to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stocks or are looking to transfer assets into a life-long income stream, there are countless planned giving vehicles that can create a win-win situation for you and our students.
Thank you in advance for your gift to the UWSP Sentry School of Business and Economics. You will receive an acknowledgment of your gift from the UWSP Foundation Office, as well as a receipt that can be used for tax purposes. To discuss your wishes to make a major gift or a planned gift, please contact College of Professional Studies Major Gifts Officer Gina Miresse or 715-346-3304.
