About Women's Fund of Greater Milwaukee

Our mission is to activate philanthropy that advances equity for women. We engage in the power of collective philanthropy across generations exclusively addressing issues that impact women and girls. Our focus is economic empowerment, leadership development, and education. We support programs and projects that influence a change in attitude, behavior, and culture, so that women and girls can live to their full potential. As one of the largest granting entities 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.
