GIVING THROUGH FAMILY FOUNDATIONS
Another option to match your philanthropic intent with the mission of Milwaukee PBS is to make a grant from your family foundation. A private family foundation by law must distribute a minimum of 5% of its assets yearly to charity. We often benefit from family foundation grants for general operations or to fund a specific content area or program. Milwaukee PBS works closely with family members and/or foundation appointed administrators to jointly fulfill the mission of donors and the Station.
