Strengthening Milwaukee nonprofits—funding, branding,
and governance that endure.

FUNDING SOURCES
Nonprofit organizations receive contributions from a diverse range of sources, each playing a crucial role in supporting their mission and activities. These contributions collectively enable nonprofit organizations to operate effectively, reach their goals, and create meaningful impacts in their communities.
Corporations
Businesses engage in philanthropy through direct donations, sponsorships, and employee matching gift programs (CSR) initiatives.
Volunteers
While not financial contributors, volunteers provide essential support through their time and skills, helping to enhance program delivery.
In-Kind Contributions
Donated goods or services, such as office supplies, professional services, or event space, which can support operational needs without direct financial costs.
Government Agencies
Local, state, and federal government entities provide grants, contracts, and funding opportunities to support nonprofit programs and services.
Corporate Sponsorships
Businesses may sponsor programs or events, providing funding in exchange for brand visibility and recognition within the nonprofit's community.
Events and Fundraisers
Nonprofits host fundraising events such as galas, auctions, or community activities to generate financial support from attendees and sponsors.
