While many have confidence in the resilience of Milwaukee's nonprofit community, no one can deny the impact that will be felt when several prominent foundations wind down.

In addition to the impending sunset of Milwaukee's most prominent foundations, several Milwaukee-based corporations that provide support to area nonprofit organizations have been acquired or are in the process of being acquired by out-of-state firms.

Within the next four months, nonprofit organizations in the Milwaukee area will lose a major source of funding when the Elizabeth A. Brinn Foundation, which works to improve the lives of disadvantaged children in the Milwaukee area, will sunset.

The closure of the Brinn Foundation will begin a cascade of sunsets for several of the most prominent sources of philanthropic foundations that serve southeastern Wisconsin.
