Lucette Brewing Company | Menomonie, WI

 1 Night. 50 Votes. $50,000.

All 50 spots are officially filled — and we’re ready to make history! This Wednesday evening at Lucette Brewing Company, 50 passionate community members will come together to raise and give away $50,000 in one unforgettable night of generosity, energy, and impact. Philanthropy Unplugged isn’t just an event — it’s a movement. Stay tuned to see what happens when the power of local giving is unleashed!

Here’s How It Works:

• Give $1,000 – You, or together with a spouse or friend, make a $1,000 donation. That money goes straight into a giving pool, which, together with 49 other donors, turns into $50,000 in funding!

• Bring a guest on July 30th – your ticket admits 2 people. Enjoy dinner and drinks ON US at the private event space at Lucette Brewing Company with Chef Stacy as our caterer for the evening.

• Hear live pitches – You’ll hear 5 nonprofits pitch their projects (Arbor Place, Menomonie Theater Guild, Shirley Doane Senior Center, Stepping Stones of Dunn County, and The Community Tables). These 5 were selected by our grants committee after reviewing all the applicants. 

• You vote – After the pitches, you will cast your vote, and we will announce the winners. No red tape. No waiting. Just immediate impact.

This is philanthropy at its purest—no committees, no applications, no waiting, just immediate, transformative giving.

Not your typical fundraiser.

Join us at the beautiful private event space at Lucette Brewing Company for an evening of community, connection, and purpose. Enjoy a hosted bar and an unforgettable dinner experience crafted by Chef Stacy Lang, a culinary creative known for bold, local flavors. Dress Code: Casual or brewery chic – no need to dress up unless you want to. Think date night, not gala night.

We’re looking for 50 Philanthropy Unplugged Giving Circle members, and this is your invitation to be one of them.

• Make a big impact in one night—your $1,000 contribution turns into $50,000+ in collective giving.

• Hear directly from local nonprofits about urgent needs and creative solutions.

• Experience philanthropy in a fresh, engaging way—no paperwork, just action.

• Be part of a movement that proves giving doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.

• Enjoy an evening of great food, conversation, and community connections.

Whether you’re giving as an individual or as a couple, your $1,000 donation goes straight to work – no long applications,  no committees, no waiting. By the end of the night, every dollar will be granted to nonprofits making real change right here in Dunn County.
