Rotary Club of Milwaukee Community Trust

With a current value of $7 million, Rotary Club of Milwaukee (RCM) Community Trust, the charitable arm of our club, has made a difference in Milwaukee and the world for more than 60 years. From scholarships for local students to water solutions in Guatemala, your support makes communities better places to work, learn and live today and for generations to come. 

Create lasting impact 

RCM community Trust contributions support significant projects that have included:

 

  • Milwaukee Rotary Amphitheater

  • Milwaukee Rotary Centennial Arboretum

  • Brown Street Academy Schoolyard

  • Clarence & Cleopatra Johnson Park

  • MKE Urban Stables

     

Each year, the RCM Community Trust provides major donations to support cultural, environmental and social service organizations throughout our community

 including:

 

  • Milwaukee County War Memorial Center 

  • Food security initiative through Feeding America 

  • Milwaukee Soldiers Home for veterans and their families

  • Bradley Symphony Hall

  • Stella’s Playground, the city’s first universally accessible/inclusive playground

  • Kohl’s Wild Theater for children at Milwaukee County Zoo

     

 

We expand the impact of global efforts by matching Rotary International funds for project like bridges, water systems, classrooms and kitchens in the Guatemalan Highlands, which have created more than $3 million in infrastructure value.

 

Generous contributions have also created a thriving scholarship program that provides students from low-income families the opportunity to attend college. Additionally, our Connecting to the Community Grants program annually awards grants ranging from $2500 to $5000 to local organizations.
