Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee

Specialties

Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee (CSGM) raises funds through workplace giving for local nonprofit organizations focused on social justice, animal welfare and the environment. We respect donor choices and make giving simple.

Workplace giving allows employees to make regular donations to nonprofits through payroll deduction. Many of us wish that we could volunteer more with our favorite nonprofit organizations, but don’t have extra time. Workplace giving helps people express their passion for improving the Greater Milwaukee community.

Workplace giving is the simplest, most effecient and effective way to raise money for nonprofit organizations. In fact, individuals give an average of five times more through workplace giving than they do when they give directly to an organization. Everyone benefits — workplaces, donors, nonprofit member organizations — and ultimately, the whole Greater Milwaukee community.
