Local and State Umbrella Organizations

United Way of Dane County

The greatest problems facing Dane County are complex. Secure housing, livable wages, quality education, and health supports are all interconnected – without one the others fall apart. That is why we need to tackle these issues at their root, working together to ensure no wrong door for families who are striving to maximize their potential. And that is where we at United Way of Dane County come in!

Hunger Relief Fund of Wisconsin

The Hunger Relief Fund of Wisconsin, administered by Hunger Task Force, Inc., is a coalition of the state’s leading anti-hunger agencies that work at the ground level to provide nutritious food to those who need it most: children and the elderly, veterans, and working-poor families.

United Performing Arts Fund

We’re for Southeastern Wisconsin. We’re for the magic of music, dance and theater. UPAF engages the community to support 14 Performing Arts Members, including First Stage, Florentine Opera Company, Milwaukee Ballet, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Skylight Music Theatre, as well as numerous Affiliates.

United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County

We know that one organization can’t solve our communities’ toughest challenges alone. We know it takes all of us, working together, to make a difference in the lives of so many that live right here in our neighborhoods. We all benefit when a child succeeds in school, when someone finds a good job, and when more people receive quality health care. We know change doesn’t happen alone.

Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education

Wisconsin has a proud tradition of supporting environmental education. In 1935, we became the first state to pass legislation requiring “adequate instruction in the conservation of natural resources” for certification to teach science or social studies in public schools. Today, networks of organizations work to ensure that all communities in Wisconsin, in addition to school children, have the knowledge and skills necessary to build ecologically mindful communities. For Wisconsin residents, sustainability = civic mindedness.

Creating Healthier Communities

Building stronger communities and empowering people to take action to improve health and wellbeing through giving opportunities, causes, volunteering, and health resources.

Community Shares of Wisconsin

Our cooperative structure provides voice to member nonprofits which means your support fuels a movement based on partnership, support, and collaboration among leaders in local grassroots organizations.

EarthShare
