Greater Milwaukee Foundation values connections with community-focused leaders
Philanthropy in the greater Milwaukee region seldom looks one-dimensional. Most people who give to the community do so in a variety of ways — through financial support, through volunteer leadership, through professional roles and through the connections they help forge.
Each person in this generous region has unique personal interests and motivations driving why and how they give, but they share a mindset as philanthropists that serving community builds community.
As a convener, a connector and a catalyst, the Foundation engages with people across the region who deeply value community involvement and find further value in their relationship with the Foundation. Here are some of their stories.
