Invest more

Consider granting to one or more of the following Greater Milwaukee Foundation funds.

  • Impact Investing Fund: Our communities are brimming with talent and assets, but in too many places, the lack of external investment holds back economic opportunity and quality of life. Your gift to the Impact Investing Fund creates opportunity where it’s needed — generating both a financial and a social return that is recycled back into the community again and again.
  • ThriveOn Collaboration Fund: Health disparities go beyond health care — because where a person lives impacts how a person lives. Your investment in this fund will support the ThriveOn Collaboration and its many strategies to address interrelated health, economic, social and racial inequities through deep neighborhood partnership and investment.
  • ThriveOn Community Engagement Fund: With our ThriveOn Collaboration, we are placing residents at the center of decision-making as we develop strategies alongside them in support of their visions and dreams for their neighborhoods. A gift to the ThriveOn Collaboration Community Engagement Fund supports community engagement activities such as community gatherings and the work of our community advisory council.
