Become a Member | Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee

We offer valuable benefits to our member organizations.

Reach out to over 100,000 potential donors without any marketing costs.

Through our public and private sector workplace giving campaigns, we give your organization access to donors you would otherwise have to spend valuable time and resources to reach. And thanks to payroll deduction, donations through Community Shares are typically 4-5 times greater than one-time donations. Most donors find it easier to have $15 deducted from each of 24 pay periods than to write a check for $360.

You decide how best to use donations to your organization.

Donations given through Community Shares are unrestricted funds, allowing members to fund their most pressing needs. Most funding sources tie their money to specific outcomes, which may not fit the organizations’ primary needs.

We’re more than just a funding source.

We help our member organizations stay current with their licensing and regulatory information, as well as providing opportunities for promotion, collaboration, vendor discounts and networking.
