In 2021 Community Shares of Wisconsin (CSW) recognized its first Collaboration Award during our 50th Anniversary. This award was developed to honor up to three CSW member nonprofits that demonstrated the power of collaboration with their coordinated efforts to lead impactful social justice change within our community. The CSW Collaboration Award winners will be honored at the CSW Community Change-Maker Awards Event. This year's award winners are:
Midwest Environmental Advocates, River Alliance of Wisconsin, and Wisconsin Environmental Health Network (a project of PSR Wisconsin) for Using the Power of the Law to Protect the Health of Wisconsin Communities - Community Shares of Wisconsin Collaboration Award
Your support of this event helps us to award three nonprofits $1,000 each - these nonprofits are chosen by our three Change-Maker Award winners and goes to further the inspiring and critical work they do in our community. Additionally, this year we will award $1,000 each to support the work of our CSW Collaboration Award winners.
