Employ Milwaukee Receives NBA Foundation Funding to Expand Career Pathways for Youth Through Partnership With Milwaukee Bucks Foundation » Urban Milwaukee Political Contributions Tracker Employ Milwaukee Receives NBA Foundation Funding to Expand Career Pathways for Youth Through Partnership With Milwaukee Bucks Foundation Employ Milwaukee - Feb 2nd, 2026 12:56 pm MILWAUKEE, WI — Employ Milwaukee announced today that it has received a $250,000 grant award from the NBA Foundation to support Community Health Hustle – a partnership with the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation to offer accessible healthcare career pathways through subsidized wages, structured work experience and intentional recruitment of youth and young adults living in under-resourced neighborhoods who otherwise might be excluded from education and employment.

The funding will support programming designed to connect young people to meaningful work experiences, career exploration, and industry-informed pathways that prepare them for long-term economic success.

“Employ Milwaukee’s track record and its strong partnership with the Bucks Foundation reflect the type of innovative, community-rooted approach that aligns with our mission.

” A key component of the collaboration includes experiential learning opportunities supported by Milwaukee Bucks staff and leadership, including rotational programming that introduces young people to professional workplace expectations, leadership development, and career pathways.

“This partnership is about more than funding—it’s about opening doors,” said Rodrick Cureton , Jr. , Employ Milwaukee Board Member and Impact and Culture Manager for the Milwaukee Bucks, who leads the rotational program. “By combining the Bucks’ platform with Employ Milwaukee’s workforce expertise, we’re creating environments where young people can see themselves belonging, contributing, and succeeding in professional spaces.

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation Distributed $96.9 Million in 2025 — Its Largest Annual Total in 110 Years. The Federal Retreat Is Reshaping What Community Foundations Are Being Asked to Be, and the Milwaukee Numbers Are the Clearest Early Indicator.

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation distributed $96.9 million in 6,184 grants to 2,028 organizations during 2025 — its largest annual total in 110 years of operation. The foundation explicitly tied the surge to regional crises and to "significant gaps in federal funding for nonprofits affecting housing and many basic services." Education received $17.8M, Human Services $16.9M, Arts & Culture $14.2M. Roughly 71% of grant dollars stayed within the four-county service area and 82% within Wisconsin.
