Who We Are

Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee is a membership organization, passionately committed to raising money for its nonprofit members. Our members focus on social justice, animal welfare, and the environment.

We partner with businesses who share a passion for these issues and understand the importance of supporting local nonprofits. Together we help employees give to members through payroll deduction. For most of our members, partnership with Community Shares is their only way to access workplace giving campaigns. Help us help them make Milwaukee a better place to live.
