FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Milwaukee Careers Cooperative differs from other employment agencies because of its not-for-profit status. Although it is mostly self-supporting through sales generated by its temporary employment division, the Cooperative seeks funding annually for many of the support services it provides to its job-seekers. These services include transportation, training and permanent placement.
The Cooperative receives financial contributions from the following sources.
GOVERNMENT GRANTS
The State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation Job-Ride Program supports MCC’s van services, which operated 365 days a year and transports workers to and from jobs in the suburbs that lie outside the reach of the public transportation system.
The City of Milwaukee Community Development Block Grant Program supports the placement of individuals in permanent jobs for which MCC does not receive a fee from employers. It also pays for the job readiness and job retention training that is provided, at no charge, to MCC’s clients.
FOUNDATION GRANTS
Milwaukee Careers Cooperative receives grants from several local foundations including the Patrick and Anna M. Cudahy Fund, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Glenn and Gertrude Humphrey Foundation and the Jane and Lloyd Pettit Foundation.
CORPORATE GRANTS
Several large corporations in the city also support the Cooperative’s mission of finding jobs for the urban poor, especially those who have been chronically unemployed and underemployed. These include Harnischfeger Industries, Harley Davidson Company, Johnson Controls and Universal Foods Cooperations to name a few.
IN-KIND CORPORATE AND CHURCH SUPPORT
Companies have also helped the Cooperative by providing in-kind gifts such as furniture from MGIC and IBM Corporation, office equipment from Techstaff, telemarketing stations from St. Mark’’s Episcopal Church and telephones from St. Rita’’s Catholic Church. These valuable gifts enable MCC to create a work environment conducive to providing hope and encouragement to the people who are served.
CONGREGATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Congregations of all denominations join MCC’s mission of helping the urban less-advantaged by contributing to the Cooperative through their Human Concerns or Social Justice
Committees.
INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Individuals who believe in MCC’s philosophy also contribute to the Cooperative’s fund-raising goal through donations.
