The University of Wisconsin Foundation’s endowment for UW-Madison is down about 18 percent, or about $300 million, since the stock market began dropping precipitously this fall, said Sandy Wilcox, foundation president. That means the foundation, which is the official fundraising arm of UW-Madison, will be able to give less money to facilities, student financial aid, and faculty and research support, Wilcox said.
