Milwaukee Succeeds:
A Unique Public Private Partnership Changing the Landscape of Our Community

Join us at this compelling presentation on Milwaukee Succeeds, a new broad-based strategic partnership that will serve as a long-range major civic initiative to focus on educational success for all children in Milwaukee. This public-private partnership focuses on creating and supporting strategies that ensure success for every child in every school in Milwaukee, from early childhood opportunities to postsecondary options.

The partnership was initially organized by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, GMC, Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee Urban League, the United Way of Greater Milwaukee, and the Helen Bader Foundation. It now includes more than 40 public and private organizations on its Leadership Council.

Discover how community philanthropy and the public sector combine to impact a critical community need. Learn how your organization can partner and develop coalitions with stakeholders to address the needs of your constituents.
