Celebrating 40 years!
In 1971, the country was deeply divided over the Vietnam War and civil rights issues. Rather than becoming disillusioned and complacent, a small group of people decided to take action—and created what we know today as Community Shares of Wisconsin (CSW).
Our member groups have transformed our community over the past four decades. We now support our 63 member nonprofits: (1) by raising money through workplace giving and from individual donors, and (2) by providing training and technical support. CSW … the nation’s first social action fund.
For our 40th anniversary event, CSW prepared a video: What Does 40 Years of Change Look Like? We invite you to view the video by clicking on the image above.
