Non Profits of the Year:
Waukesha County Community Foundation & United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County
The Waukesha County Community Foundation is a pool of permanent endowment and project funds created primarily by and for the people of Waukesha County to provide grant support to charitable organizations. The intent of the Foundation is to serve a broad spectrum of community needs. United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County changes lives and improves our community by mobilizing people and resources to drive strategic impact in health, education, and financial stability.

Both WCCF and United Way work to improve lives in Waukesha County and came together during the 2021 Waukesha Christmas Parade tragedy to create the “United for Waukesha Community Fund.” While nothing can undo the terrible events of that day, WCCF and United Way are hopeful that the outlet of support provided some relief for the Waukesha community and improved the lives of the victims and families impacted by relieving some of their financial burden. Together, the two organizations are proud to support neighbors and friends here in Waukesha County in good times and bad. 

The 2022 winners will be celebrated at the Alliance’s 104th Annual Meeting on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 at the Brookfield Conference Center. Registration for the event is now open.
