MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO
THE WISCONSIN FILM FESTIVAL’S REAL BUTTER FUND!

The Wisconsin Film Festival is here to educate and inspire. We believe that film can build bridges, and that original storytelling has the power to engage and connect us.

Each year, the Wisconsin Film Festival would not be possible without your contributions. We cannot sustain the Festival on ticket sales alone. Tax-deductible gifts to the Festival are housed in the Real Butter Fund. Real Butter Fund donations support all areas of Festival operations. Interested in supporting the arts in Madison, aspiring filmmakers, or the next generation of storytellers? Please consider making a gift to the Real Butter Fund today.

The Festival is produced by UW–Madison, so gifts to the Real Butter Fund are housed within the UW Foundation. Real Butter Fund contributions exclusively support the Wisconsin Film Festival.

WHY IS IT CALLED THE REAL BUTTER FUND?

This is Wisconsin. Real butter represents everything that is good and great about our state’s dairy traditions. The Real Butter name was inspired by a mobile that hung above the popcorn counter at the former Strand Theater on East Mifflin Street in Madison. The mobile was salvaged before the building closed in 1990.

It’s popcorn, it’s movies, it’s Wisconsin. It’s good.
