In class or online, you are making sure rural Wisconsin students with financial need can go to school. Thank you for your partnership and support of the WROF, Inc!

Thank you for fostering the vitality of rural Wisconsin. May you be well and in good spirits in this remarkable year.

Happy Halloween!

WROF Supports Rural Summer Science Camp

The Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation continues to be a valuable partner in outreach programs that help revitalize rural Wisconsin. This program is free to rural students and helps them explore the diversity of careers in science. The workshop series brought more than 100 students and 15 teachers “face-to-face” to learn online from scientists at the Morgridge Institute for Research.

Hear from WROF
Scholarship Recipients

Every Tuesday and Thursday, we share stories and thank you's from our WROF Scholarship Recipients on social media. If you aren't following us, you are missing out! It is always a joy to hear what students put their money towards and where they are today

Jeremiah Ihm is WROF Board Scholar

Lancaster native Jeremiah Ihm is the Mary Elvekrog WROF Board Scholar. This University of Wisconsin-River Falls freshman is earning a degree to become an agriculture and agri-science teacher. He wants to help students find what they love to do and plan for success.

Did you know that generosity is contagious?

Zoom science. Web-ex math. A good look at your home office or dining room complete with the kids homeschooling and the dog. But….

What’s even more contagious than COVID? Hope. Smiles. Family. Generosity.

As our scholars manage these times, YOU are that good person who bring a smile to them when you lighten their financial load in college, tech school, or short course. With your gift, you join forces with others who understand that our scholarships and awards are more than money. They are the pat-on-the-back that says, “Stay the course. We believe in you.”

You are an important part of our Wisconsin Rural Opportunity Family. You understand investing in the educational goals of our rural students helps them grow into the leaders, farmers, teachers, nurses and families in rural Wisconsin tomorrow. Would you consider a gift today of $100 or more to support our rural scholars….especially now?

Please join us today with our online form at wrof.org, on Facebook or yes, mail in your gift. (There is a downloadable form on our website.) Perhaps this is the time to commit to just $25 each month to help.
You can designate any rural Wisconsin school or rural educational experience – and see your gift at work, right now! www.wrof.org/donate.

Giving to the WROF feels good and does good! Join in!
Making a difference,
Marcy Heim
Executive Director, WROF, Inc.

PS – And remember….you can honor and recognize someone you love and admire with a permanent scholarship through the WROF. Perhaps it is a nurse who is on the front-lines now. Perhaps it is a parent or teacher who is ensuring kids get what they need. Let’s chat soon and find the best way for you to lift up rural Wisconsin!
