Through our programs and events, the Donors Forum of Wisconsin provides opportunities for the philanthropic community to participate in information sharing, networking, and educational programs to improve the quality of life across the state of Wisconsin.  Our programming aims to build the skills and knowledge in core competency areas to strengthen the effectiveness of grantmakers.  By learning from one another, as well as local, regional and national experts, DFW serves as an information resource about all forms of organized philanthropy for potential and current donors, their advisors, and the general public.
