Join Us in Conversation
Since October, the board and staff of the Basic Needs Giving Partnership have been reviewing and refining our strategy to provide direction for the next several years. We’ve heard from voices across the community encouraging us to deepen our focus on the root causes of poverty and invest in systems change efforts to build thriving, equitable communities across Northeast Wisconsin.
As we continue this work, we want to hear your perspective on what is needed to support and advance efforts in the region to disrupt the policies, practices, and systems that hold poverty in place.
Let us know if we’ll see you there by signing up using the links below. Join us to share your experience and insight to help shape our work moving forward.
