Inspiration, innovation, transformation
Building bridges in the central city
For Bridge Builders, community development means getting our hands dirty in the soil of a neighborhood.
We inspire inner-city innovation that will holistically transform neighborhoods one block at a time.
It all starts on the block
We’re tackling Milwaukee’s struggles from the bottom-up. Our plan partners residents with local governments, businesses, foundations, churches and community groups.
We connect people living on the block with people giving to the block.
