The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letter needs your help to maintain its current level of programming. In fact, we have to raise $300,000 each year--35 percent of our budget--to continue our high-quality programming which includes our magazine, Wisconsin People & Ideas; our art gallery, the James Watrous Gallery; our public lectures, Academy Evenings and our Wisconsin Idea at the Wisconsin Academy (now examining "The Future of Farming and Rural Life in Wisconsin").

There are many ways to contribute:

• Join the Academy. First-time members can join for $25, and renew each year for $40.
• Give $1,000 and join the McCoy Circle
  
• Sponsor one of our programs
  
• Make an annual gift to our Bright Future Campaign
• Join our most generous group, the Minerva Society, a group of donors who give $10,000 or more a year.

It all helps bring together a thoughtful, results-oriented community of people and ideas to create a better Wisconsin.

Your generosity is always deeply appreciated. Thank you!
