Balance. 

That’s the key to how the Greater Milwaukee Foundation protects your investments, even in uncertain times. We also have the advantage of the valued expertise of our volunteer Investment Committee, as well as our investment adviser, New York-based Crewcial Partners LLC. These resources help us maintain a highly diversified portfolio that produces very competitive returns while you reach your long-term philanthropic goals.
