We're 80% of the way to our $710,000 Capital Campaign goal to support our building renovation — and right now, your gift goes even further.

Thanks to a new matching opportunity, every dollar donated is doubled. That means the last 20% could be closer than you think, with your help.

What a morning in Milton this past Saturday! Kids of all ages took on the swim, bike, and run at the annual Milton Youth Triatholon and the energy at the finish line said it all. A huge congratulations to this year's winners, and to every athlete who showed up and gave it their all.

The Milton Youth Tri Fund is one of the funds we're honored to steward here at CFSW, and our Donor Services Rep, Deedee was out there cheering on every kid and lending a hand wherever needed.

Head over to the Milton Youth Tri page to see more photos from the day. And if you'd like to support future triathlons and the young athletes who show up for them, the link to give is in the comments.

Who do you know that crossed the finish line this year?

The new Janesville building is taking shape, and we have great people to thank for it.

Thank you to Corporate Contractors Inc. for their work on CFSW's new home at 1446 N. Randall Avenue. Their team is on site right now, and the progress happening week over week is because of their craftsmanship and commitment to this project.

We're grateful for the work they're putting in every day.

Gifts to the campaign are still being matched. https://cfsw.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=10229

June is Dairy Month, and Southern Wisconsin wears it well. Our rolling pastures and family farms are the reason cheese curds squeak, festivals fill the streets, and "America's Dairyland" is more than just a license plate.

From the New Glarus Cheese Festival on June 13th, to Green County Cheese Days in September, to our own Monsignor Thomas F. Campion Charitable Fund Cheese Tasting Dinner (pictured here from this past May), the celebrations all trace back to the same place: the rural farming communities that keep this region running.

The work is real, and it's happening because of you.

Demo is well underway at 1446 N. Randall Avenue in Janesville. If you've given to this campaign, that's your investment taking physical shape right now.

Gifts are still being matched by a generous group of donors. If you've been watching and haven't given yet, the match is still available. We'd love to have you with us.

You did it, southern Wisconsin.

CFSW has reached its $150,000 matching gift goal, and because of this community's generosity, a generous group of donors has released an additional $100,000 in matching funds for the building campaign. Every dollar donated now is still being matched.

And it's already real. Demo is well underway at 1446 N. Randall Avenue. The work happening on that site right now is a direct result of what this community gave.

Thank you to every person who contributed. And if you haven't yet, the match is still open. Donate here: https://cfsw.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=10229

What a great example of a small-town project coming together. The Blanchardville Hollandale Area Fund put a grant behind it, Mrs. Leonard-Flannery's class brought the craftsmanship, and McKellar Park is better for it.

Supporting advisory boards and their funds like BHAF is one of our favorite parts of the work. They know their communities and where a little funding goes a long way.

Last night, we had the privilege of joining the Mineral Point Community Foundation to celebrate 10 years of giving and $1 million endowed.

A decade of community generosity adds up. The donors and volunteers behind this fund have built something lasting for Mineral Point, and we're proud to be part of that story.

Pictured: CFSW President & CEO Wyatt Jackson with Kristin Mitchell, Mineral Point Community Foundation Advisory Board Chair, at the Mineral Point Opera House.

Here's to the next million. 🎉
