City of Milwaukee Department of City Development (DCD) Grant Writing Tips

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. The foundation's assets grew 57% over the past decade to $1.33 billion.
