In 2024, eight people donated $1 million or more to a political party in Wisconsin. Some of them gave much more.

The CoVantage Cares Foundation annual two-week fundraising campaign will run from Dec. 3-17 in all areas served by the credit union. Every dollar donated will be matched up to $175,000 by the CoVantage Cares Foundation, effectively doubling the impact of each contribution.
