Capital Campaign
Phase 1 - The SkyLine
Your donation will help achieve a vision over 100 years in the making. Successful implementation of the master plan will depend on continuing support from project advocates and the private sector.
The first phase of construction for Madison LakeWay is planned to start in 2027.

Madison LakeWay Partners is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations to the organization are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
Thanks to the generosity of community and family philanthropists along with corporate partners and sponsors, we are close to reaching our target of $14.5 million.
We need to reach this target by August 31, 2026 in order to make the project a reality!
Naming Opportunities:
Make a lasting impact with a leadership gift to Madison LakeWay.
A limited number of naming opportunities are available for lead-level donors, including signature features such as the SkyLine Pier, boardwalks, overlooks, gathering spaces, and other landmark elements throughout the LakeWay.
Supporters may also choose a signature SkyLine Turtle - a 5” X 8” bronze version of the LakeWay turtle embedded into the SkyLine path imprinted with your name or a short message for a $50,000 pledge (limited availability)
