Honoring Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Leaders
The premise is simple - create a committee of selected leaders, give them access to grant funds, and ask them to fund the most effective way to create an equal Milwaukee. In return, you give each leader a grant to their respective organization in recognition for the work they have already achieved. In total, over $75,000 would be distributed by the end of 2008 through this partnership. FULL STORY
