Escalating Community Needs

Belonging and 

social

connectedness

In a healthy community, each member is highly engaged, feels a strong sense of belonging, and has inclusive spaces that provide access to broad cultural opportunities. Feeling that you have a place and celebrating differences as well as finding common ground is what community is about.

COMMUNITY ACTION

We are committed to fostering inclusive environments of diverse thought, perspectives, and individuals. Support for community celebrations like Juneteenth, Pride Alive, and arts and culture initiatives like Spark GGB! creates opportunities that bring people together to share our commonalities as well as our differences.

Investments in the Northeast Wisconsin Journalism Initiative also serve to amplify the voices and stories of our community so we can be better informed and can more effectively advocate for ourselves and others.
