Five years ago, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation launched its strategic plan “A Milwaukee for All.” The Foundation thanks donors and partners who came together during this time to create meaningful and impactful solutions for longstanding concerns in sectors like housing and early childhood education. We developed new approaches like our historic Greater Together Campaign and the placed-based ThriveOn Collaboration, while tackling urgent needs prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our collective strategies aligned with several overarching themes:
- Creating big solutions through partnerships: The Greater Milwaukee Foundation is how the region works together
- Investing in the needs of today and ideas of the future: Leveraging new sources of capital to power economic mobility and community vitality
- Bringing ThriveOn King to life: Creating a catalyst for change in the heart of community, with community at the heart
- Fostering people-powered philanthropy: Growing the impact of generosity in every form
To recognize these achievements, the Foundation launched a multimedia impact report that captures the voices, determination and innovation that made these positive outcomes possible.
These efforts from the past five years will inform future work and demonstrate what greater Milwaukeeans are capable of when neighbors and communities come together.
As the Foundation develops its next strategic plan, its objective to build a Milwaukee for all remains as important as ever.
