A community fund, activating philanthropy to advance equity for women.
We engage in the power of collective philanthropy across generations exclusively addressing issues that impact women and girls in our community. As the largest granting entity in Wisconsin of our kind, we provide essential funding to area nonprofits, HER Scholarships to women who are non-traditional students, and convene the community around interesting and important issues that impact women. Using the proceeds of our endowment coupled with funds secured from the community, we support solutions that result in sustainable and long-lasting transformation for our community.
As an endowed fund, we have the freedom to invest in long-lasting transformation, non-traditional programs, while challenging traditions to create innovation. We are responsive to current community needs and priorities. Founded in 1985, and established as an independent organization in 2006, the Women’s Fund of Greater Milwaukee depends on gifts from the community.
Today we remain committed to advancing equity for women by offering support to area organizations just as we’ve done for more than 3 decades. We are proud members of the Wisconsin Philanthropy Network, Wisconsin Women’s Fund Alliance, and the Women’s Funding Network.
