Our Programs and Interests
Cream City Foundation is a community based foundation focused on funding lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender programs and organizations working towards social change in southeastern Wisconsin.
Cream City Foundation believes that philanthropy has an immense influence on creating long-lasting social change in our communities - including the elimination of homophobia. We look at our grantees as recipients of funds that work towards changing attitudes and institutions such that they cease to create the very problems that charity tries to alleviate.
Cream City Foundation also works closely with local and national funders to promote social change philanthropy and create a giving and philanthropic cooperation to ensure our funding has its maximum impact in our communities.
Part of our strategy also includes building the capacity of our local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities through specific infrastructure building initiatives in addition to our grant making; provide philanthropic education and giving tools; and expanding the philanthropic tools available for those interested in funding LGBT issues. |
