Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee (CSGM) is proud to announce that it recently received an $8,000 grant from The Brico Fund for its 2010 Strategic Planning process.
CSGM’s new Strategic Plan is engaging board, staff, committee members and other core constituencies in focus groups, planning sessions and retreats.  The process, scheduled for completion in August 2010 is being facilitated by MBA, My Business Advisors.
“We are very grateful to The Brico Fund for its faith and financial support,” said CSGM Executive Director John Jansen. “We have made much progress in our ability to support community organizations in recent years, but as we go forward we want to be sure that all our operations are as efficient as possible and are in synch with a carefully thought out set of strategic objectives so we can be of greatest possible service to the greater Milwaukee community.”
Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee is the only area organization that connects individual donors with over 50 local nonprofits working toward a healthy environment and a more just society.  Community Shares encourages ongoing giving to achieve a greater good through its affiliated Social Justice, Animal Welfare, and Environmental organizations.
