Social Justice

We fund nonprofits that acknowledge the systemic impact of racism and other forms of oppression that result in disparities in access to economic and social success. We prioritize acknowledging, identifying, and disrupting policies and practices that perpetuate poverty and inequality because we believe they are the root causes of injustice and must be addressed for real, lasting change.

Environmental Justice

Community Shares of Wisconsin member nonprofits envision a future where we all have clean water and air, where all neighbors have access to family-supporting jobs, and all communities across Wisconsin are safe and thriving.

Equity

Our member nonprofits are our leaders. All of our member nonprofits have a seat on our board of directors and a voice in our decisions. There is strength in difference, and together we transform our community.

Collaboration

Our member nonprofits believe the best solutions to challenges communities face will come from the communities themselves. That’s why our member nonprofits build partnerships and meaningful collaborations across the state to amplify the voices of those who are already the experts.
