Today, the Giddings & Lewis Foundation Fund announced a major milestone in their commitment to the community: starting immediately, all employee contributions to United Way Fond du Lac County will be double matched! This incredible decision by the advisory committee means that every dollar given will now be tripled in impact (employee donation + double match), amplifying our collective support for those who need it most.

By increasing the matching gift, the G&L Foundation Fund is demonstrating our deep-rooted belief in the power of giving back. It’s not just about financial support—it’s about making a long-term investment in strengthening the community, fostering resilience, and providing hope. With this new double match, G&L is standing beside their employees, empowering them to make an even greater difference in the lives of our neighbors.

The Giddings & Lewis Foundation Fund is administered by the Fond du Lac Area Foundation.
