Tomorrow's architects might
be right under your nose...smiling as they master geometry...dreaming
of one day building to the heavens with steel and concrete...or just
learning to color inside the lines. Nurturing and supporting those young
minds is the heart of the Wisconsin Architects Foundation (WAF).
Established in 1953, the WAF's
primary mission is to enhance the public's awareness of architecture
through its commitment to architectural education. From awarding scholarships
to Wisconsin architecture students to providing grants for educational
programs, the foundation remains steadfast in its belief that building
a better Wisconsin starts in the classroom.
Over the last fifty years,
that commitment has taken many forms, most notably awarding more than
$325,000 in WAF scholarships to Wisconsin architecture students, establishing
a School of Architecture & Urban Planning at UW-Milwaukee and, closer
to home, restoring the historic Joseph J. Stoner
House in Madison, a National Landmark and the current headquarters
of the WAF and AIA Wisconsin.
Build Wisconsin's Future
Despite its success, your
participation and financial support are needed to continue the important
work the WAF does on behalf of the profession. Opportunities are available
throughout the year to make regular contributions or memorial gifts,
and innovative ideas for contributions are gladly accepted. The WAF
is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity and gifts are tax deductible to the
full extent allowed by law. Contact AIA Wisconsin for more information.
