Endowment Funding

Additionally, we have endowment funding. Join our Board of Directors in leaving an enduring legacy. Currently, we have four endowment funds established. The endowments support Adaptive Sports & Recreation, Research & Education, Quality Healthcare, and Adaptive/Assistive Technology. These endowment funds are managed by Morgan Stanley and will provide funds to support these programs for many years.

If you're interested in endowment funding, please contact the chapter treasurer at email: info@wisconsinpva.org or contact the office at 414-328-8910.


Monetary Donations

The Paralyzed Veterans of America - Wisconsin Chapter (PVA-WI), is part of a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946, which has developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of our members - veterans of the armed forces who have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction, MS, or ALS. PVA-WI will use that expertise to be the leading advocate for quality healthcare, benefits, research/education, and accessibility for all.
