MILWAUKEE, May 20, 2025 ~ Public Allies, a national nonprofit organization with a mission to promote social justice and cultivate diverse leadership, has announced the launch of its Leadership in Action Fund. The fund aims to raise $1 million in the next six months to support its community of young leaders and sustain programs affected by recent federal funding cuts to AmeriCorps programs.

According to CEO Jenise Terrell, nonprofit organizations across the country are facing uncertainty due to the intentional dismantling of the nation's social safety net. As a result, Public Allies is appealing to individuals and philanthropic organizations to fill this gap and support their network of innovative, community-rooted leaders.

Since its establishment in 1992, Public Allies has partnered with over 3000 local nonprofit organizations and government agencies. They have equipped more than 10,000 young leaders with the necessary skills to launch impactful new programs and initiatives addressing critical issues such as education, homelessness, hunger, violence prevention, and underemployment.

They are mobilizing everyday heroes across the country to join forces and build networks of support for communities that will be most affected by recent federal funding cuts.

Wisconsin State Representative Darrin Madison recognizes the importance of investing in young leaders and empowering local organizations. He states that "strong communities are the foundation of our democracy" and every time they invest in a leader or support an organization, they are reinforcing this foundation. As someone who was personally impacted by Public Allies' work in Milwaukee, he emphasizes the urgency of responding swiftly before these funding cuts have long-lasting effects on future generations.

The Leadership in Action Fund is not just about filling a financial gap but also about investing in the future of our communities. By supporting Public Allies' efforts, we are not only enhancing public safety but also promoting innovation and improving quality of life. As the organization continues to empower young leaders and build strong networks, they are reinforcing the very fabric of American democracy.
