Success Stories

Marquette, industry partners announce President’s Challenge for COVID-19 response

“When we announced the first President’s Challenge in 2018, the goal was to address areas of need for communities in Milwaukee.” President Michael R. Lovell said. “COVID-19 has had a major impact on all of us, but we are seeing some of our surrounding communities being hit disproportionately hard, and I’m proud that American Family has joined Johnson Control Foundation and Marquette University in our goal to aid in recovery efforts.”

The President’s Challenge will support proposals with up to $50,000 of grant funding for one year and will be selected from each of the following focus areas: Mental health and wellness; Economic revitalization; and Health services.
