Giving Guide - 2022 Edition

A SUPPLEMENT OF

REGIONAL PHILANTHROPIC OPPORTUNITIES 2022 EDITION

Let your light shine

A guide to investing in our community BIZTIMES MEDIA IS PLEASED TO PRESENT our 12th annual Giving Guide. Our intent once again is to connect our readers, many of them business owners and leaders, with the nonprofit community.

We also aim to provide you with information and tangible ideas that inspire you to invest in our community by giving your time, talent and treasure – personally and/or with your employees.

The past 20-plus months have challenged many of our region’s wonderful nonprofits and the people they serve. As the need in the community continues to grow, so does the need for all of us to get involved and make a difference.

We hope you find the content on the following pages inspiring. On page 2, you’ll find the stories of nonprofits exposing young people in our community to job and career opportunities in a variety of industries, and on page 4 you’ll read about organizations jumping into action to help Afghan refugees.

This year’s edition is also truly a guide to giving with stories about how to become a more educated donor (page 6), how to get involved in board service (page 12), and best practices in corporate giving and volunteering (page 16). In between these articles you will find first-person stories from community leaders describing why they give and why they serve.

Starting on page 18, 56 area nonprofits are profiled in detail. You will learn about their mission, ways to give and volunteer opportunities. New this year, on pages 9 - 11, you’ll find a wish list from the featured nonprofits. Following the profiles, beginning on page 130, you’ll find hundreds of additional nonprofit organizations listed, providing you with additional ways to get involved.

Southeastern Wisconsin is a great place to live and do business, but our community also faces many significant challenges and many residents need help meeting their daily needs.

The nonprofit organizations profiled in this publication work to address those needs and challenges with the help of supportive businesses and individuals.

The stories on pages 2-16 offer you a guide to giving while also spotlighting the work of local employers and employees who are giving back and making a difference in our community.

We hope these stories and nonprofit profiles will inspire you and your organization to find your own cause to support to help make southeastern Wisconsin an even better place for all of its residents.

DEVELOPING REAL-WORLD SKILLS Charlie Uihlein had been teaching world history in a Milwaukee high school for a couple of years when he realized much of the content he was covering in the classroom wasn’t the kind of stuff students would ultimately be tested on in the real world.

greenhouse and education tracks. Next year, the program will add food and beverage, entrepreneurship and grounds and maintenance tracks.

Teen apprentices take on their own leadership projects, such as developing a community garden at the Milwaukee County Zoo or heading up Webers’ marketing efforts.

“It will look different depending on what a student’s passions are, as well as what the needs are from the organizations they’re partnering with,” said Sylvia Wilson, program director for TGG.

“I also saw that a lot of the students I was working with wanted jobs but, because of a lack of network or because they didn’t have certain skills, they weren’t getting them,” Uihlein said.

Upon completing the apprenticeship, students earn two high school credits and a nationally recognized youth apprenticeship completion certificate from the Department of Workforce Development.

The organization has also developed a partnership with Milwaukee Area Technical College that will allow students to gain three to six college credits through their portfolio of leadership experiences.

So, he launched out on his own to start a program that would cultivate those skills while also giving students an opportunity to earn money.

Teens Grow Greens was born. The nonprofit organization provides internships for high school students, using urban agriculture as the vehicle for teaching critical life skills.

In its inaugural year seven years ago, the program employed 12 teenagers on Milwaukee’s north side.

This year, it has 60 teen employees participating in the organization’s north and south side sites. Teens Grow Greens is available to any high school student in Milwaukee, including public, charter and private schools.

The program, which up until now has been offered as a nine-month internship, allows students to earn roughly $3,000 and learn about different career paths, including agriculture, hospitality and entrepreneurship. Beginning next year, the organization will break up the program into three consecutive internship experiences.

One of the most visible components of TGG’s programs is Webers Greenhouse, a formerly family-owned greenhouse on Milwaukee’s north side that the nonprofit acquired in 2018. It’s run with the help of paid apprentices and interns, and serves as a home base and community hub for the organization. It sells organically grown plants, herbs and vegetables for community members to purchase and plant in their own gardens.

Every teen leaves the program with a resume, digital badges connected to the skills they acquire and connections to jobs after they graduate, leaders say.

Teens Grow Greens

Communication, leadership and teamwork are all highly valued in the workplace, but few would argue those qualities are best gleaned through sitting in lectures and reading textbooks.

After students complete TGG’s internships and apprenticeships, TGG staff provide post-graduation support to help students with their goals, like graduating high school, becoming employed or launching an entrepreneurship project.

“Right now, we’re looking at registered apprenticeship through DWD. … We’re also working to garner a pool of employers that are willing to hire these students that come with three years of experience that they can use to transfer into entry-level employment,” Wilson said. “And then some will choose to go to higher education, so they will be able to take some of the credits and then actually apply those to a certificate, associate degree or go on to their bachelor’s degree.”

Teens Grow Greens high school students have the opportunity to gain leadership skills by mentoring younger students.

Since 2014, 100% of TGG alumni have graduated from high school or are on track to graduate; and over 80% have been able to maintain employment after the program. •

For those who want to continue working for the organization after the internship, TGG offers paid apprenticeship opportunities, including urban gardening,

compared to last, following President Joe Biden’s raising of the cap on refugee admissions to the U.S. LSS budgeted to help 300 refugees this year, up from 100 last year, according to Hector Colón, president and chief executive officer of LSS of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.

they’ve been able to help facilitate that.”

“On top of that, we have this emergency situation with people from Afghanistan, and we’ve raised our hands to be able to serve them,” he said.

To date, the company has donated seven pallets of clothing to Afghan refugees.

LSS is aiming to raise an additional $500,000 to fund the resettlement of 100 Afghans in the area, which would cover the cost of housing assistance, food, clothing and basic needs for several months. Colón said LSS aims to find individuals permanent housing as quickly as possible, typically within 90 days.

The remainder of clothing items were donated to Meta House, a Milwaukee-based nonprofit organization that serves women in recovery.

Gilman said one of the benefits of working at a startup is the ability to respond nimbly when needs arise in the community. After the idea was first pitched, Wantable chief executive officer and founder Jalem Getz signed on immediately, and volunteers began sorting clothing within a few days, she said.

“LSS really is honored and privileged to … serve these individuals who are fleeing war and persecution,” Colón said. “It is also very inspiring how quickly these individuals get integrated into our society.”

In its typical, day-to-day work, Milwaukee-based online fashion retailer Wantable Inc. is focused on curating fashionable clothing, with the help of technology, and sending items for customers to try on at home.

Abigail Gilman, brand communication manager for Wantable, had previously worked with HRRG to assist Syrian refugees during their resettlement a few years ago.

When she heard about Afghan evacuees arriving at the Wisconsin base, she and her coworkers reached out to see how they could help.

Wantable employees and representatives from HRRG and the Milwaukee Muslim Women’s Coalition partnered to sort through the company’s inventory to find items that were most suitable for the women and men at Fort McCoy, including sweaters, pants, dresses and jackets. About 30 employees helped with the sorting effort.

“The connections (to HRRG and MMWC) have been really helpful,” Gilman said, noting that the relief group transported the donations from Milwaukee to a dropoff location in Sparta. “They have the access and the knowledge about what different items are needed. So,

Wantable

But during times of crises over the past two years, the company has been stepping outside its normal routine and stepping up to help those in need. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Wantable leveraged its logistics and fulfillment operation to connect at-home sewing volunteers with the spike in demand for face masks. Throughout this summer and fall, the company has used it excess supply of new clothing to donate to Fort McCoy.

“Everyone is invested in making an impact on our local community and, with our customers being across the country, making an impact on those communities too,” Gilman said.

In total, Wantable donated seven pallets of clothing to Afghan refugees.

Individuals and corporations can help the resettlement effort by purchasing items off of HRRG’s Amazon Wishlist, making a financial donation to LSS’s campaign, or by signing up as a volunteer with HRRG or LSS to assist families when they arrive in the community.

“It really takes a village, and the community support makes a difference,” Badwan said. •

Lord said. “It created (what’s called) the starvation cycle, where nonprofits would try to go as lean as possible and ended up putting themselves out of business because they simply couldn’t operate under that low of overhead.”

“A good donor is an educated donor,” Lord said. “(Donors) doing their homework is a priority to really understand not just where their money goes, but what it does, and have that sense of satisfaction and pride that it’s While overhead costs vary from organization to DAN doing MEYER something positive, rather than just writing a check KATEorganization, MEYER it’s generally agreed that they should account Publisher/Owner, to get a tax benefit.”

well. But nonprofit leaders continue to combat the myth.

“The problem in my perspective is that damage has already been done,” Lord said.

A well-rounded evaluation of a nonprofit should include other metrics. Joseph Brooks, senior director for donor services at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, said it’s important to identify who is leading the organization.

“Look for evidence of a strong board of directors and governance,” Brooks said. “First of all, can you figure out who is on the board of directors and see if there’s anything you can glean from that.”

Annual reports – also often housed on a nonprofit’s website – contain valuable information about an organization’s impact, he added.

Ultimately, the question of whether to give to the wellestablished versus new nonprofit is a difficult one, Lord said.

“I know of some new nonprofits doing amazing work and of some more established ones that have fallen into a bit of a rut,” he said. “… They’re existing, but how much are they actually moving that needle? A long-term legacy organization certainly has that sustainability that you want to see, but I don’t necessarily think we should count out newer, more untested organizations.”

Both as an accountability measure and to foster a greater connection to the organization, Brooks recommends volunteering or serving on the board as well.

“That is truly the best way to know an organization, for better or for worse,” he said. •

But there’s only so much that financial documents, reports and web searches can reveal.

“If you feel like you’ve found an organization you’re interested in giving to, reach out to them,” Brooks said.

“Don’t be shy. Reach out and ask some questions. If it’s an organization where there’s a tour opportunity, take a tour. Meet their leadership. Those are all reasonable things to think to do.”

When it comes time to give, Lord recommends being mindful of where your dollars are going within the organization. Nonprofits will direct unspecified donations to wherever they are most needed, he said. General gifts are critical for organizations to sustain their programming and pay for items that may be less attractive for donors, like keeping the lights on. But donors that feel strongly about their money going to a particular initiative within the organization should specify that when making the gift.

Donors should also familiarize themselves with the Donor Bill of Rights, a document created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals and endorsed by many organizations that enumerates what a donor is entitled to when giving their money, Lord noted.

Donors may initially be drawn to larger, longstanding organizations or those that are getting press at a given moment, but Brooks and Lord say under-the-radar grassroots organizations shouldn’t be discounted.

Tips for evaluating nonprofits 1.

4.

5.

Visit watchdog group sites, such as Guidestar.org and CharityNavigator.org to learn more about the organization’s financial health.

Read the most recent annual report (often posted on an organization’s website) to learn more about its mission and impact.

Research who sits on the board of directors and who makes up the executive team.

Take a tour of the organization.

Volunteer with the organization.

“There’s a lot of incredible work being done by smaller organizations, and sometimes they may look a little different than big organizations with a marketing and fundraising team and fancy collateral and materials, but that doesn’t mean a smaller grassroots organization isn’t having a great impact as well,” Brooks said.

Based on his own entry into the world of nonprofit board service, Olson recommends staying curious and connecting with other professionals who have board experience.

“So many of these nonprofits collaborate with other nonprofits, so just by taking the time to ask questions and find people who are already serving on boards … just trying to make those connections in the community helped me figure out something I was passionate about,” he said.

It can be especially beneficial to make your aspirations known to those in your network who are most familiar with your work, business acumen, and personality – whether that’s a colleague, vendor, supplier, or board members at your own company, said Patricia Ackerman, senior vice president for investor relations, corporate responsibility and sustainability, and treasurer at Milwaukee-based A.O. Smith Corp.

“They can be great referrals because they know you and oftentimes are very comfortable recommending you. It’s amazing when you activate your network and start asking and socializing … how many inbound inquiries might come from that,” said Ackerman, who is also chair of the board of directors at Milwaukee Women inc, a nonprofit aimed at increasing female representation on corporate boards.

Volunteer work is another great way to learn more about a nonprofit and build rapport with leaders and execs.

Already being involved with an organization opens the door to express your interest directly to those who appoint the board members, she said.

Ackerman, who’s been with A.O. Smith for almost 30 years, got involved with nonprofit board service early in her career. An exec at the company had reached the term limit on the board of the Wisconsin chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The company wanted to maintain a presence on that board, so she stepped up.

“You get experiences that you won’t have in your day job. They’ll be much broader experiences. You’ll see the organization from its many different facets: marketing, sales, volunteers, mission, governance. It provides great insight into how all of these things are connected and come together,” said Ackerman. •

Where do I start?

Ackerman has the following tips for those looking to get involved with board service:

Create a list. Do some research on the nonprofit landscape in your area and take note of those that align with your values and passions.

Use your network. Make your aspirations known to colleagues, mentors, clients and leaders. Find out what boards your network serves on, and if one of those organizations sparks your interest, reach out to that person specifically.

Volunteer. Signing up for volunteer opportunities can help you learn more about the nonprofit and get your name out there as a viable board candidate.

Don’t wait. If the opportunity presents itself today, consider it. There’s no perfect time to take on another time commitment, but when it comes to board service, the earlier in your career the better.

“I definitely knew that was something I wanted to do,” she said. “I was still raising my family but saw the opportunity and my company was behind me.”

The day-to-day demands of work – and for some, raising a family – are enough to fill anyone’s schedule, but Ackerman has a message for young professionals who are thinking about board service: Don’t wait. If it’s something you think you’d want to pursue five to 10 years down the road, but the opportunity presents itself today, consider it now. Do some research and go through the process of determining whether it’s something you can add to your life outside of work, she said. The return is worth it.

Best practices for corporate giving and volunteering

BY ALEX ZANK, ZANK , staff writer

T

the ways in which companies give their energy and resources to charitable causes are as varied as the work they do.

But they share some common themes. Employers who are serious about their giving efforts have a dedicated structure in place, work with organizations and causes that have meaning and align with company values, and have companywide buy-in that starts at the top.

“Corporate partners right now, they really want to be part of a solution,” said Patrick Rath, president and chief executive officer of the Milwaukee-based United Performing Arts Fund.

UPAF is a nonprofit organization that engages the community to support 14 member groups in eastern Wisconsin, such as Milwaukee Ballet and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, plus 26 affiliate groups. Roughly 60% of its funding comes from corporate sponsorship and employee giving. Twenty companies make up more than 90% of its overall corporate support.

As an example, Rath said companies are not as interested in simply saying that they provided free meals in the community.

“It’s being able to say who those meals are for, and now how has that made a difference in people’s lives,” Rath said. “That’s the level of detail that I think a lot of companies are now approaching their giving overall, which is more outcome-focused, and strategically part of their own values as a company.”

Grafton-based Kapco Inc., a maker of metal products, has a reputation as a company that’s serious about its giving. It was named BizTimes’ Corporate Citizen of the Year in 2019.

“Kapco’s philanthropy policy, if you had to put it in a few words, is, ‘How can we pay it forward to our community, and how can we make a difference locally?’” said Kenzie Gonzalez, who assists with Kapco’s corporate giving and philanthropic efforts.

Gonzalez is also senior researcher at Hometown Heroes Inc., a nonprofit founded by Kapco leadership. The organization is financially independent of Kapco, though

the two share some resources, such as in accounting and marketing, she said. It organizes what Gonzalez called “trauma-informed camping.” The first program it created is Camp Hometown Heroes, for kids who have lost a parent or sibling who served in the military.

A group of First Weber employees volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity site.

Kapco’s own in-house charitable efforts are also supported by a dedicated team and company structure. The company has a community relations department led by Neil Willenson, vice president of community relations.

“Everyone at the company, especially leadership, shares all these values, but we need someone to actually drive it, get it done (and) organize it. … You have to devote the time and the resources to it as a company if you want to do a good, intentional job about it,” Gonzalez said.

Kapco takes a personal approach with its giving, Gonzalez said. The company wants to create a balanced partnership, not a bureaucratic process, with nonprofits seeking its support.

“It’s a power dynamic relationship, really,” she said.

Over the last two years, the number of Black families who’ve become Acts homeowners has doubled, and we’ve made a commitment to double this volume again over the next two years.

Acts is committed to serving exponentially more families over the next five years. Your financial support allows us to hire additional Homebuyer and Home Rehab Coaches to keep up with the volume of families seeking out services, implement new technology making the path to homeownership more accessible to families, and invest in outreach tailored to engage low-to-moderate income families who may think homeownership is out of reach.

TOGETHER, Building Healthy Communities Cancer is everyone’s business.

It’s why the American Cancer Society is dedicated to building impactful partnerships with local organizations to advance our fight. We’re stronger when we fight cancer together.

The American Cancer Society and Kohl’s created the Kohl’s Healthy Families Program to help local families prevent cancer and cope with a diagnosis. Since the creation of the program in 2015, our partnership has helped build healthier communities across Wisconsin.

Company Ad

Community wellness grants create meaningful partnerships and provide education about the connection between healthy eating, active living, and cancer risk in underserved communities throughout Milwaukee and Kenosha.

Programming improves access to healthy food, offers healthy cooking classes, and engages individuals in physical activity.

Many grantees utilize community health workers to reach vulnerable populations.

The nine current grantees aim to impact 8,000 individuals.

Grants to three federally qualified health care centers target improving cancer screening rates in underserved communities.

Funding supports outreach and education about age-appropriate cancer screenings, navigation for individuals to complete screenings, and, if needed, assistance with after-diagnosis care.

A public health campaign creates awareness and includes a call to action for individuals in the Milwaukee market to get screened.

In 2020, programming supported health systems with transportation grants to ensure vulnerable cancer patients could complete their lifesaving treatments.

Through the funding, over 4,000 one way rides were provided to cancer patients throughout Wisconsin. Systems reported positive feedback: “These patients are so appreciative.

We had a patient that had to drive 113 miles to come for a visit!”

“There was an elderly gentleman, he and his son were almost in tears. They were amazed that we could help them out.”

The mission of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through his saving death and resurrection by calling, forming and sending disciples to go and make new disciples. We are called to encounter Jesus and grow as disciples through the sacramental life of the Church. The three pillars of this mission are Catholic Identity, Evangelization and Stewardship. Who we are is our Catholic Identity – received from Jesus Christ, who is the source of what we do to announce the Gospel through Evangelization and how we do this is through Stewardship of gifts from God.

There are numerous fundraising programs which seek to support the various missions of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The annual Catholic Stewardship Appeal raises money to support the various services and ministries within the 189 parishes and throughout the community.

The current Love One Another Capital Campaign supports ministries and missions such as Catholic schools, education, formation and missions. Catholic Charities supports service to the poor and those in need in the archdiocese, while Catholic Relief Services respond to needs around the globe. Visit archmil.org/giving.

Our 189 parishes, 102 schools, 10 hospitals and countless Catholic organizations offer an array of opportunities for volunteerism. We want to engage everyone. Various opportunities include serving at soup kitchens and food pantries, urban and prison ministry initiatives, serving the homebound and elderly, international support and mission trips, health care service, supporting women’s health and providing free care for pregnant women, and many more.

The Catholic Church in its ministries feeds the hungry, heals the sick, teaches young and old, visits the imprisoned, and provides solace and sustenance for thousands in our community. We need the help of our neighbors to continue this shared mission in all of our communities. The Catholic Church serves all in need, regardless of race, religion, disability, or creed.

In order for Wisconsin’s kids to be the healthiest in the nation, we go beyond treating kids only when they are sick or injured. We embrace an expansive definition of health and well-being — including physical, social and mental health. Our five-year engagement and philanthropy vision focuses on these three pillars: Eradicating Disease & Innovating Health Care; Caring for the Whole Child & Empowering Families to Build Strong Communities; and Creating Solutions for Mental & Behavioral Health.

Supporting a fundraising event is a great way to fuel the Children’s mission. Our calendar includes well-known annual events as well as smaller independent fundraisers.

We are also fortunate to have hundreds of generous organizations and individuals in the community who fundraise on our behalf. We welcome the opportunity to guide you through that process for a virtual or sociallydistanced event. For a list of upcoming happenings, visit childrenswi.org/events.

Volunteers extend care by serving patients and families at the bedside, in the community and well beyond — including contacting legislators about important issues. Our engagement philosophy is to create consistent, inclusive and personalized experiences that deploy volunteers by their greatest passions and strongest connections. We recently launched Children’s Engagement & Philanthropy Affinity Groups to raise awareness and galvanize the community’s generosity, volunteerism and advocacy. Search opportunities at childrenswi.org/volunteer.

Children’s was founded over 125 years ago by seven women philanthropists who believed kids needed better care. Today, we are a top-ranked pediatric enterprise and the largest social services agency in the state, with 2 million touch points annually. We wouldn’t exist without your continued support — our community, our founders.

The Foundation is dedicated to finding cures for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and to improving the quality of life for those living with these diseases. To fulfill this mission, we raise funds to heavily invest in research on the treatment and cures of IBD. We also work to support patients through education programs, support services, advocacy, quality of care initiatives, and a clinical trials community. We host a weeklong overnight camp in Elkhorn just for children with IBD called Camp Oasis. At camp, kids create lifelong friendships with people who truly understand their struggles.

Essential to the Foundation’s mission, our ongoing fundraising efforts enable us to fund further research, as well as educational and patient support activities. We encourage teams and individuals to participate in Take Steps walks in Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay. Our annual special event in Milwaukee, An Autumn Affair, is an elegant soiree with cocktails, dinner, games and auctions to raise funds for our mission. We also have endurance training fundraising programs, including Team Challenge for half marathons and triathlons and spin4 crohn’s & colitis cures for indoor cycling.

All volunteer activities respect social distancing, with masks and gloves are required to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Individuals, groups and return volunteers are welcome.

All donations made to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin stay 100% local. $1 donated to our food bank is the equivalent of $10 spent at the grocery store by an individual.

The curriculum is based on current research in the field of elementary education, social-emotional learning, and positive-youth development. Lessons focus on life skills.

To show girls that they have the power and potential to make a difference, each team creates and executes a local community service project. Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment.

At each season’s conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5K event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals.

Join us for a fun evening at our Sneaker Soiree which will be held on Feb. 11, 2022. Be a part of the GOTR story, as we empower our girls to be strong women. We also host two celebratory 5K events each year. The 5K’s are open to all as we wrap up our GOTR participants’ 8 week season. Our Fall 5K is Sunday, November 14. Event open to all diversabilities. Run or walk and help us celebrate building strong and confident young girls. Our Spring 5K will be held in May. Also watch for our new summer camp program.

Henry’s Story

“I’m a whole better person now. I run a construction crew. I love my job. I’m there for my kids—physically, mentally and financially.

JobsWork MKE played a big part in that.

They taught me people skills and helped me with my resume. They gave me financial goals and a financial coach. They even helped me with my license.”

—Henry

We help people get ready to work… for you… for the long run.

Our unique and transformative model prepares workers from Milwaukee’s most underemployed neighborhoods to get jobs—and keep them.

The MATC Foundation forms public-private partnerships to support upward mobility and workforce readiness for the Milwaukee area. Donors can count on 100% of their contributions and endowment earnings going toward scholarships, emergency grants and MATC programs.

The MATC Foundation manages 130+ endowments and temporarily restricted funds. Donations support student scholarships like the MATC Promise, the first program of its kind in Wisconsin, which provides free tuition for eligible students.

V O LUNTEER OPP ORT U NITIES MATC Advisory Committees, organized by academic and occupational programs, help keep programs technologically current and responsive to workforce needs.

MATC Promise is an innovative partnership to provide free tuition to eligible students by leveraging private donations to fill the gap between the cost of tuition and what financial aid covers. The average scholarship needed is $1,000.

DACA Plus Scholarships were created in the spirit of making education accessible to all by providing resources to students that otherwise do not have access to traditional financial aid. A scholarship of $500 would assist a part-time student in paying for one semester.

Healthcare Heroes Fund supports students in MATC’s 25+ healthcare programs that require payment for an exam to obtain a license to practice and gain employment.

The average exam cost is $350, and that cost is often a barrier. MATC’s graduates have a 90% or higher pass rate for most programs.

MATC Dreamkeepers Emergency Fund helps students facing unexpected emergencies like job loss, an ill child, a house fire or sudden homelessness. Students attending MATC are more likely to come from low-income households and be first in their families to attend college, compared with four-year institutions. A donation of $500 enables a student to weather temporary financial hurdles, stay in school and pursue a family-supporting career.

25 years ago MCP saw a gross inequity in education and jumped in. We resolutely believed then, and are more convinced than ever, that no matter a child’s background or ZIP code, that child deserves to live a life of choices, and to have access to their dreams. A high quality education focusing on equal parts rigorous academics and loving relationships provides the foundation from which those dreams are launched. Year after year our scholars prove us right, graduating on-time from high school at rates of high income schools and prepared to go to a two or four year college.

MCP will host its 25th Anniversary Take A Stand Event, May 19, 2022. It will be a casual, but celebratory, night recognizing the impact of Milwaukee College Prep has had on thousands of children and families over its 25 year history as a leading changemaker in urban education.

The Milwaukee Rescue Mission provides emergency aid, such as food, shelter, and clothing, as well as long-term rehabilitation programs to men, women, and children in our community who are struggling.

One goal of the Milwaukee Rescue Mission is to help restore the lives of individuals who are struggling to stability and productivity. MRM serves men, women, and children in four areas: Safe Harbor, shelter for men; Joy House, shelter for women and children; Cross Trainers Academy, K4-12th grade Christian school for children from the neighborhood; and Equip, community outreach.

While receiving a nutritious meal and safe shelter can be the first step toward recovery, MRM also addresses the root causes of poverty. Our long-term transformational programs include education, job training, counseling, addiction recovery, biblical instruction and life-skills classes.

The shelter programs of the Milwaukee Rescue Mission are wholly supported by contributions from individuals, businesses, churches, foundations, bequests and special events. MRM hosts two fundraisers each year.

For over 63 years, the overarching goal of Prevent Blindness Wisconsin has been to provide sight-saving services to the residents of Wisconsin. We work tirelessly to continue to offer our critical services because 1 in 20 preschoolers and 1 in 4 school-aged children has a vision problem. For generations, our hallmark certified vision screening service has guaranteed Wisconsin’s children are vision-ready for school. Our multifaceted adult program combines vision screening and public health education components. Our goal is to continue to provide a lifetime of healthy vision.

• PBW’s “Swing for Sight” golf outing at Ozaukee Country Club is held each year on the first Monday of June.

• A special aspect of PBW is its Preschool Ambassador.

The walk, led by each year’s Ambassador, helps raise not only funds but also awareness.

• Celebrity Waiters Dinner: Held every fall, the Milwaukee Admirals have served as our Celebrity Waiters for many years and have made this unique event a success.

• Ride for Sight: A new tradition, established in 2021, is PBW’s motorcycle ride fundraiser event. We can’t wait to see how many sight-saving motorcycle enthusiasts join us next year.

Wisconsin is 1 of 9 states that does not require vision screenings in schools.

75% of our adult vision screening clients are uninsured.

In 2020, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin reached 433,071 Wisconsinites with preventive vision health services and certified 1,756 partners and volunteers as Vision Screeners.

“I can honestly say that 85% of his temperament has changed for the better since he has started wearing glasses because of his preschool vision screening. It makes me wonder if he was having headaches and was not able to verbalize to us how he was feeling,” said Charles' mom, Lisa “Charles loves his new glasses!” she added.

Company Ad "I just kept hearing ‘no.’ You were there for me. I didn't know how to get from point A to point B and you helped me. I wouldn't have been able to make this journey on my own. My eyes worsened, and I am just excited to be able to see again.

Things are going to start looking up for me now. There is a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow for me." - Shelly

The path to seeing clearly isn’t always clear. Without Prevent Blindness Wisconsin, countless Wisconsinites would not have access to needed vision care. Through our efforts, people like Charles and Shelly have gained awareness on the importance of protecting their vision health at every stage of life.

Every teen deserves the opportunity to graduate from high school with the financial skills needed to thrive in adult life. Our goal is to continue expanding access to our three programs to make this a reality. Money Sense introduces teens to essential financial literacy concepts and practices. Money Coach connects teens from underresourced communities with volunteer financial mentors and also provides them the opportunity to earn a college/ career scholarship as they reach program benchmarks.

Money Path is a cutting-edge financial education application for teens and young adults, uniquely linking academic and career planning with financial planning.

Our signature fundraising event is our Investment Conference, which results in approximately a third of our organizational revenue each year. The SecureFutures Investment Conference is the Midwest’s premier event for cutting-edge investment thinking and includes presentations from an impressive line-up of leading investment managers. All proceeds benefit SecureFutures, and an array of corporate sponsorship opportunities are available. The next conference is scheduled for May 12, 2022.

Our programs are 100% privately funded, with support from individuals, foundations, and corporations enabling us to continue the vital work of teen financial empowerment.

During the holiday season, our goals are to increase red kettle bell ringing locations and company match days to run a successful Red Kettle Campaign. Individuals, families, businesses, corporations, foundations, civic and affinity groups are welcome to join us in reaching the annual Red Kettle Christmas Campaign goal. In 2020, the campaign brought in $4 million. Eighty-seven cents of every dollar donated supports a program or service to help men, women and children year round living in Milwaukee County.

Individuals, corporations and foundations can become directly involved with a financial gift to one or more of The Salvation Army’s programs, such as the Feed the Kids Summer Lunch Program, the Back to School Backpack Program, the Chaplaincy Program, the Christmas Toy Shop or Christmas Family Feast. Our annual special events include the Swing for the Kettle Golf Outing, Civic Luncheon, the Red Kettle Christmas Campaign, Big Brass Blast, Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, and the Older Adults Christmas Luncheon.

Versiti is a fusion of blood donors and blood health innovators who recognize that the gifts of blood and life are precious.

With ten permanent donor centers located throughout Wisconsin, hundreds of blood drives held each day throughout our communities, and an internationally renowned Blood Research Institute (BRI), we’re committed to giving back.

Ultimately, the meaning of our work is found in the lives we save and the people we serve. Versiti’s BRI is a premier center for the investigation of blood-related diseases and conditions. For more than 70 years, the BRI has made scientific breakthroughs affecting patients with heart disease, stroke, cancer, immune system disorders and blood diseases. Their combination of skill and knowledge results in novel treatments that greatly improve patient outcomes and give hope to those who are struggling.

A philanthropic gift to Versiti enables our team to spend more time researching better treatments and cures and bring these life-saving discoveries to patients more quickly.

Meet Mariah Just three days after she was born, tiny Mariah Roberts was in a fight for her life. She was diagnosed with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder predominantly found in people of African descent that afflicts approximately 100,000 Americans.

Sickle cell disease is caused by a blood protein that creates abnormal red blood cells. While normal cells are disc-shaped, abnormal cells are sickleshaped and carry less oxygen, interrupt healthy blood flow, and lead to tissue and organ damage and potentially premature death.

Immediately, Mariah received two blood transfusions that eased her pain and cleared up her complications. Her parents, Chris and Tamara, who were dedicated blood donors prior to Mariah’s birth, are now spreading the word about the importance of blood donation, especially in the African-American community.

“It’s our duty to donate blood,” says Mariah’s mom, Tamara. “We take it upon ourselves that somebody helped our daughter, so now we do it in return.”
