Meet the 2025 Philanthropic 5

Head shots of All P5 Award Winners

June 12, 2025

Being a leader in philanthropy means focusing on building stronger, more inclusive, and equitable organizations and communities. It means empowering and celebrating those around us. We are fortunate to witness the impact of these individuals every day within our community.

Each year, United Way's Emerging Leaders recognizes and honors community leaders in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who are dedicated to giving, advocating, and volunteering for positive change. We celebrate the contributions of these inspiring individuals through our annual Philanthropic 5 and Philanthropic Youth awards. The Philanthropic Youth Award recognizes outstanding youth community leaders under 21 years old.

Thank you to our longtime event sponsor, BMO, and our media sponsor, Milwaukee Business Journal!

Meet our 2025 award winners: Mayra Alaniz, Betty Hill, Erik Kennedy, Tyler Odeneal, Tim Patterson, and Philanthropic Youth winner, Phin Clarkin.
