Ken Robertson - Greater Milwaukee CF - ThriveOn Collaboration

EmergentCF

What happens when a Milwaukee native with a rich for-profit background shifts gears to the non-profit sector? Join us as we unpack this journey with our guest, Ken Robertson, the Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. From growing up under a desegregation order to embracing the city's unique pull, Ken's story is one you won't want to miss.
We delve into the inspiring work of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation and its innovative ThriveOn Collaboration, which aims to drive a sense of urgency and create a lasting impact. We discuss the foundation's recent move to a historic neighborhood and how racial equity and inclusion are at the heart of this move. Ken emphasizes the importance of listening to the community and the partnerships formed with allies, such as the Medical College of Wisconsin and Royal Capital Group. This ambitious project dedicates a portion of the former Gimbel's department store to community services as requested by the community itself. Tune in to learn more about this groundbreaking work and the future goals for transforming Milwaukee.
