A Milwaukee For All | Greater Milwaukee Foundation Strategic Vision for 2020-2025

/

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation serves the whole community. As a partner of choice for generous donors, as a champion for our nonprofit sector, as a convener of diverse voices and ideas – we have been woven into the fabric of this region for 105 years. But our legacy together is just the beginning. We are committed to expanding our table, deepening our impact and innovating for a brighter future where everyone thrives. A new tomorrow starts today.

After a year that brought both a global pandemic and an uprising for racial justice, the question we face is not how we rebuild Milwaukee—but how we build a better Milwaukee.

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation envisions a community of thriving neighborhoods that welcomes, includes, and develops the potential of all people. A region that serves as a beacon for the nation. A Milwaukee for all.

But there’s a fault line running through every system we live with today: racism. It’s more than just the disparities and segregation we all know too well. Its many legacies and effects represent the greatest threat to our future as a region.

No one can take on a challenge like this alone: no individual, no institution, no neighborhood. It will take all of us — and the Greater Milwaukee Foundation is how Milwaukee works together.

This is the driving purpose behind our new strategic plan for 2020-25: overcoming our racial divisions to build a Milwaukee for all. It arises from years of listening and learning with our community — and now we’re calling on our entire community to join us in this generational undertaking.

Following our North Star to build a Milwaukee for all The Greater Milwaukee Foundation is committed to building a Milwaukee for all. This work is guided by our North Star of racial equity and inclusion.

COPYWRITE MAGAZINE OFFICIAL DROP! Issue 20: Homage [Place your PRE-ORDER now!]

In this Issue of CopyWrite Magazine, we take a strategic exploration of legacy. Noting the people, organizations, and cultural convergers that came before us. This, and all other publications we have released, are archives that WE exist and will not be forgotten in the folds of history. We understand that without the headway our predecessors have made, we would not be here. We also understand that history is only archived if someone deems it worthy and the narrative is always guided by the perspectives left "on wax".

Snap Shot Press Release: Love At Home [For Jacob Latimore] Bronzeville Week 2022

Creative “Genius” is not in short supply when it comes to the 414.

There have been several Milwaukeeans to achieve success at the stardom level. [No need to name names. We all know who they are]. However, there have only been a select few who have kept ties to their humble roots, coming back home to see their families, going to public outings with their childhood homies, and even willing to have small chat with a young admirer, assuring them that they too can make their dreams come true.

Clearly, Jacob Latimore is one of those impressive exceptions.
