This year, the Milwaukee Women’s Center turns 45.
For four and a half decades, we’ve been a place of refuge and renewal for survivors of domestic violence and families facing homelessness—a place where women reclaim their strength, children rediscover stability, and hope takes root. That legacy belongs to all of us—and to you. Thank you.
As we mark this milestone, we’re celebrating growth and progress while also facing a critical moment.
Demand for our services has never been higher, while federal support for people in crisis is declining. Yet every single day, around the clock, the Milwaukee Women’s Center remains committed to meet women, men, and children in their most vulnerable moments—with care, compassion, and the tools they need to rebuild their lives.
Our doors must remain open for those in need.
Raise Hope: Sustain and Grow the Milwaukee Women's Center

In tribute to the Milwaukee Women’s Center’s long-standing role as a place of healing and a path forward, our Raise Hope campaign is about sustaining and growing our impact—raising hope during difficult times—for as long as our community needs us. But we can’t do it without you.
Your support makes a real difference for the people we serve. When individuals and families come to the Milwaukee Women’s Center, they not only need a safe place—they also need someone to hear them and believe in them. Our guests and program participants have survived domestic violence, homelessness, hardship, and loss, and they need time, space, and support to begin healing.
Journeys to hope and healing are possible because of simple but powerful acts of generosity—acts of hope for a better future—from people like you.
Looking ahead to the next 45 years, your gift will help us protect our critical services, meet growing needs, maintain our facilities, and ensure no one is turned away in a moment of crisis.
This is our legacy—but it’s also our future. Here's how you can support the Milwaukee Women's Center's essential services:
