Join our mailing list to receive periodic updates about Partnership for the Arts & Humanities, including the official email announcing the opening of the application.
Milwaukee Recreation operates the Partnership for the Arts & Humanities, which is an allocation of $1.83 million approved annually by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors to support afterschool and summer arts and humanities-related opportunities for children, youth, and families. After a rigorous application review process, funds are released to community-based organizations planning to partner with schools and/or youth-serving agencies. A dollar-for-dollar match requirement encourages new partnerships between community-based organizations, schools, youth-serving agencies and the funding community, and promotes the use of additional funds for programming during the school day.
The Partnership for the Arts & Humanities has supported various programs throughout the Milwaukee area. Here are the projects that the program is currently funding.
The Partnership for the Arts & Humanities Advisory Committee was established in December 2018 to assist program staff with establishing a strategic vision for the program and serve as an oversight body. The strategic visioning work is currently underway.
