United Way of Greater Milwaukee 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."
