MIAD matches donations to Milwaukee organizations fighting racial injustice

MIAD annually commits $10,000 to match dollar for dollar donations by students, faculty, staff and alumni to selected nonprofit organizations in the City of Milwaukee fighting racial injustice.

In 2020, MIAD matched $6,942.96 in donations to eight organizations: LIT, BLOC, Milwaukee Urban League, YWCA of SE Wisconsin, Milwaukee Fellows Mentorship Program, America’s Black Holocaust Museum, WI Black Historical Society and Public Allies.
