About this grant
Milwaukee Water Commons is a grassroots organization focused on community engagement and organizing around water and environmental justice in the Great Lakes region. The grantee helps strengthen community and water leadership and inform policy through initiatives to build water, climate, and racial equity in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. The grantee addresses the need to include community input into policy change, especially for those who have historically been excluded from the process, such as lead service line replacement and contaminants in drinking water. A new grant from the Mott Foundation will support the Milwaukee Water Common’s water programs, partnerships and policy work in the city, state and region.
