Thank You to Our Amazing Volunteers! 

We have a record-breaking number of members this year!  Almost 25% of our membership served as Grant Committee members. We received 93 Letters of Inquiry from nonprofit organizations located in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties.  Of that, 31 organizations were invited to submit full grant proposals and our Grant Committees conducted several site visits and ultimately determined our five finalists.   Thank you to everyone who dedicated their time and effort to these results!
