Our 2024 Campaign Goal Has Been Announced!

Yesterday evening in the atrium of the Fiserv Forum, United Way gathered with our community to announce and celebrate our 2024 Community Campaign goal: $57.5 million!


This year's campaign co-chairs are John Florsheim (Weyco Group), Craig Jorgensen (VJS Construction Services), Scott Turner (Children’s Wisconsin), and DeVona Wright Cottrell (GMR Marketing) who are supported by our 2024 Campaign Cabinet

 

If your company or organization runs a United Way workplace campaign, this is the best way for you to donate. If they don’t, you can still give to help us reach our 2024 goal.

Meet the Reducing Barriers to Employment & Advancement Grantees


The Reducing Barriers to Employment & Advancement initiative is anchored in the belief that all adults should have the opportunity to start stable careers, at workplaces where they are treated with dignity and have opportunities to support and provide for their families. 


In 2024-25, we are funding the work of 16 programs committed to reducing key employment barriers.

Meet the Safe & Stable Homes Grantees


The Safe & Stable Homes initiative is committed in creating a community where homelessness is brief and rare, and families have the resources they need to overcome unforeseen challenges. 


In 2024-25, we are funding the work of 25 programs committed to ensuring that family homelessness is prevented or is a one-time, brief experience.
