Women’s Fund Campaign 2030

For four decades the Women’s Fund of Greater Milwaukee has had a steadfast presence in our community seeding transformative ideas, expanding capacity, responding to emerging needs, and inspiring action. We have documented the realities of women and girls through the Status of Women and the Women’s Well-Being Index, and provided scholarships that open doors and change lives.

This milestone year we launch a four-year campaign to fund what comes next.

Our community counts on us for voice, support, inspiration, and connection. Whether through vibrant programming that sparks conversation or resources that help good ideas take root, our ability to be both dependable and visionary is essential. When a community values and invests in women, it thrives… and this campaign ensures we can keep leading with purpose and acting with intention.

This campaign funds our ability to:

  • Convene the community for learning, inspiration, and celebration
  • Respond with agility as community needs and ideas evolve
  • Invest resources precisely, where and when they have the most impact

Our Goal: $1,040,000 by 2030

Raised to date: $145,000 (as of April 30, 2026)

We offer deep gratitude to the donors who have already stepped forward to lead this campaign.
