Supports initiatives in Amani, Metcalfe Park and Muskego Way neighborhoods

The Northwestern Mutual Foundation recently awarded $3.4 million in grants to Milwaukee area nonprofit organizations focused on community outreach and education improvement.

The Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons office building in downtown Milwaukee.

The grants will support initiatives in Milwaukee’s Amani, Metcalfe Park and Muskego Way neighborhoods, which the foundation has been investing in since 2013.

“For our city to thrive, it’s so vital to provide the opportunities for our children and youth to be successful,” said Eric Christophersen, president of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. “It’s essential that we help support our communities with the means to achieve their dreams, and it starts with access to valuable community resources and foundational education.”
