Private Sector campaigns: (Private companies and businesses)

Individuals in dozens of private businesses can support Community Shares through payroll deduction programs at their workplaces, and Community Shares is working to offer payroll deduction at more workplaces so all Milwaukeeans can exercise their right to make their own choices in giving. Note: We do not get donations from those who write our name on the United Way Donor Choice Pledge form.

If your company does not offer payroll deduction through Community Shares, please contact us at 414-342-0883. Let us know that you would like to be able to give to Community Shares and its 50 member organizations through payroll deduction at your workplace.

Leave Your Personal Legacy for Community Shares:

There are many ways to give a lasting gift to the organization that successfully fought for open employee campaigns in Southeastern Wisconsin – and continues the fight today for Social Justice and a Healthy Environment. Please consider one of the following:

Make a gift of stock to Community Shares.
Put Community Shares in your will. Making a bequest of your home or property can help you reduce or eliminate estate taxes that might otherwise have to be paid on the value of your home.
Set up a charitable remainder trust through which you can make a stock donation to your charity of choice while avoiding potential capital gains tax and eliminating estate tax liability.
Create a charitable gift annuity - By donating property, for example, you can receive a charitable income tax deduction in the current tax year. Your charity of choice can sell the property and make annual payments to you in the form of annuity income.
Leave a charitable legacy by making a gift of life insurance to Community Shares. Turn a yearly premium payment on a life insurance contract into a charitable income tax deduction and a substantial charitable gift.
Name Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee as a beneficiary of your IRA.
