Examples of Collaborative Funding

Supporting Early Childhood Educators, Increasing Homeownership

We are proud supporters of the Community Development Alliance (CDA), a public-private partnership with affordable housing stakeholders, local government and philanthropy. Their truly collaborative work with housing non-profits, developers and the early childhood education sector attracted our interest and investment.  The CDA builds trusted relationships, compiles data and applies every tool in the toolbelt to advance a first-ever collective, affordable housing plan for Milwaukee.   

Citywide Focus on Reading

For the first time in our City's history, a broad coalition of Milwaukee Public Schools, charter and private schools - along with civic and business leaders, and parent advocates -- is uniting around a single goal: ensure that all Milwaukee children develop the foundational literacy skills needed to read at grade level by third grade. 

We are proud to support and co-chair the Milwaukee Reading Coalition and invite you to get involved in supporting all of Milwaukee's children and educators for a brighter future.
