Project details

What we need
  • Short bios for up to 6 members of your team, including links to relevant social media profiles, preferred contact method(s), and headshot selection
  • Note: this project does not include the taking or editing of headshots
Additional details

My colleague, Zipporah Turnbull, and I need to have our bios written for publication on our work's website.

What we have in place
  • We currently have brief bios written by ourselves that were sent out to current staff members to get to know us better.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to utilize those funds to continue to support and do direct service in the Milwaukee community.

This will help website visitors know more about us and our goals and residents get to know who we are!

Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF), the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the Royal Capital Group (RCG) have established the historic, community-based ThriveOn Collaboration founded on a joint vision for a Milwaukee that is equitable, healthy and thriving for all.

This commitment is physically embodied in the restoration and redevelopment of an iconic building in the Historic King Drive district at the nexus of three vital north side neighborhoods - Halyard Park, Harambee and Brewers Hill. The former Gimbels-Schuster's Department Store, 2153 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, most recently owned by CH Coakley, will be redeveloped by RCG and will become the Foundation's new home and will house MCW's community engagement programs. The partners will build on the vibrant history and current assets of the neighborhood, seize on the momentum growing throughout the city and join community members to realize a shared vision for positive change.
