Overview

Mission

To support the efforts of the university of Wisconsin-madison's college of agricultural and life sciences by providing a communication and activity link to college alumni and potential students; and to support current students through scholarships and leadership recognition.

What it reported doing in 2025

Alumni connections - communication and networking are key ingredients in all our lives, and walsaa provides numerous opportunities for alumni to stay in touch with their alma mater. Our quarterly newsletter, walsaa express, is sent to lifetime and annual members providing them with stories about the college and walsaa events. Walsaa hosts an annual picnic during farm technology days and the famous walsaa fire-up tailgate. Other alumni activities include sporting events, dinners, and breakfast receptions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
