Overview
Founded in 1915, The Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF) is the largest community foundation in Wisconsin, having awarded over $1 billion since inception. Since 2019 alone, the Foundation has issued over $140 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, with most of the grants staying in the greater Milwaukee area. Acknowledging persistent racial disparities in Milwaukee and the systemic biases that underlie them, GMF has increasingly and intentionally committed to advancing racial equity in the greater Milwaukee region over the last twenty years.
