Giving Tuesday 2025: A Community Comes Together to Raise Over $33K for Youth in Need

You Showed Up and Showed Out for Our Youth!

This year's Giving Tuesday was nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, Urban Triage raised over $33,817.00 to support young people in Dane County who are aging out of foster care and facing the very real threat of homelessness.

To every single person who contributed, shared our message, or participated in our campaign, thank you. Your support has been transformative, and it will create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond this one day of giving.

The Impact of Your Generosity

Every dollar raised during our Giving Tuesday campaign goes directly toward programs that create lasting change in the lives of young people who need it most:

Youth in Transition Programs provide safe, transitional housing for youth aging out of foster care or escaping domestic violence. These programs offer more than just a roof over their heads; they provide a bridge to stability, independence, and hope for a brighter future.

Agriculture Programs address food insecurity by delivering fresh, nutritious produce to families in need while also offering free education in sustainable farming practices. These programs create pathways to employment and entrepreneurship, empowering community members to build sustainable futures.

It's Not Too Late to Make a Difference

While Giving Tuesday has come and gone, our mission continues every single day. If you missed the opportunity to give or want to continue supporting our work, we welcome your contribution at any time. Every gift, regardless of size, fuels hope and creates real, tangible change in our community.

Celebrating Our Partners

We couldn't have made this year's Giving Tuesday such a success without the incredible support of our partners:

A special thank you to UW Health and Roots & Wings Foundation for their generous donations and unwavering commitment to our mission. Your partnership amplifies our impact and strengthens our ability to serve young people in need.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to GlouGlou Wine Bar for hosting our Giving Tuesday event and opening their doors to our community, and to Heritage Catering for their exceptional catering services that made the evening so memorable and special.

Looking Forward with Gratitude

As we reflect on this incredible Giving Tuesday, we're filled with gratitude and renewed determination. Your belief in these young people and their potential reminds us why we do this work. Together, we're not just providing services, we're creating pathways to success, fostering resilience, and building a stronger, more equitable community for all.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with the incredible young people we serve and believing in their future.

With immense gratitude,

The Urban Triage Team
