Greater Milwaukee Foundation
 United States  / Wisconsin  |  Community/Family

Greater Milwaukee Foundation has three primary objectives − helping donors create personal legacies of giving that last beyond their lifetimes; investing donor funds for maximum return with minimum risk; and playing a leadership role tackling the community's most challenging needs.

Since the Greater Milwaukee Foundation began in 1915, we've been guided by three tenets − helping donors create personal legacies of giving that last beyond their lifetimes; investing donor funds for maximum return with minimum risk; and playing a leadership role tackling the community's most challenging needs. These guiding principles continue to serve the Foundation, our donors, and the community well. Over the years, nearly 1,000 individuals and families in the metropolitan Milwaukee area have started funds at the Foundation. Our philosophy shapes finely tuned financial practices that allow our investment returns to outperform both the S&P 500 and the Morningstar Balanced Mutual Index Fund over the past seven years. And through our leadership, we have helped develop and nurture projects such as the Mequon Nature Preserve, the Urban Education Fellows Program and Sponsor-A-Scholar.
