Key Stakeholders
In 2021, Milwaukee Succeeds launched a new leadership structure, designed to share power and promote change in Milwaukee’s education systems. Our Leadership Table and funders use their influence to accelerate improvements, while our Early Childhood Education and High School Success Coalitions work to determine priorities, develop strategies, and bring about change!
Leadership Table
The Milwaukee Succeeds Leadership Table is comprised of cross-sector leaders from Milwaukee’s education community. This dynamic group champions the work of Milwaukee Succeeds by making connections that advance priority areas, removing barriers to education equity and leveraging collective lanes of influence.

Our Funders
Our dedicated funders invest in our core operations, systems-level strategies and anti-racist practices. As strategic partners, they align their investments to transform how philanthropy builds better systems for Milwaukee’s young people.
This progress is bolstered by our connection with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. As the Foundation’s communitywide education initiative, we have the resources and capacity to lead boldly – even through economic uncertainty.
Our Coalitions
The Early Childhood Education and High School Success Coalitions lead by setting the direction of our work, developing strategies, and supporting implementation.
