What We Do



GRANTING
At Forward Community Investments, our vision is for an equitable and inclusive Wisconsin built on cooperative social action. We realize our vision by supporting Wisconsin-based, mission-driven organizations that are reducing racial inequities and socioeconomic disparities with our loans and community development resources.

FCI's Grant Making Philosophy:
-
We agree to trust, be trustworthy and practice transparency.
-
We are interested in building trust and identifying shared values and not in pursuing formal control mechanisms (i.e. lengthy contracts or long-term accountability systems).
-
We will operate from a place of humility and curiosity.
-
We recognize that people and organizations have been operating in an equity space far longer than FCI. We are committed to learning from our applicants and awardees.
-
We will focus on the mission of the request.
