Serving the Community

A strong and vibrant nonprofit sector is vitally important to a thriving Waukesha County.  We are proud to have numerous nonprofit organizations within our membership.  Nonprofits play a key role in strengthening the fabric of our community by providing critical services, fostering civic engagement, driving economic growth as employers, serving some of our most vulnerable citizens, and enhancing the quality of life within Waukesha County.  Our Nonprofit Alliance fosters collaboration within this sector, shared learning, and strong connections with the business community.
