New $3 Million Endowment will enable UW Odyssey Project to continue to combat inequalities

“In the midst of a highly insecure time, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Odyssey Project secured $3 million in gifts, a base for the future of Odyssey and its transformational work in breaking the cycle of generational poverty through access to education. Odyssey graduates, over 90 percent of whom are students of color, have journeyed from homelessness to UW–Madison degrees, from incarceration to community leadership.”
The endowment will help ensure Odyssey’s future while it continues to seek support for current program needs, such as technology access during the pandemic.
