Celebrate Those Who Make Milwaukee Better For All

Positive change happens every day across Milwaukee because of people who step up, serve others and invest in their communities. The Unity Awards recognize these changemakers by celebrating the impact they make and the example they set for others.

Now in their seventh year, the Unity Awards honor individuals and organizations whose dedication helps strengthen our city through leadership, collaboration and community service.

Whether they’re leading neighborhood initiatives, supporting local causes, building equity, mentoring future leaders or creating opportunities for others, their work deserves to be recognized.

Who Should You Nominate?

We’re looking for individuals and organizations whose efforts have made a meaningful impact in Milwaukee. Nominees may come from any sector including nonprofit, business, education, government or grassroots organizations – as long as their work demonstrates a commitment to building a stronger community for all Milwaukeeans.

If someone has inspired you through their service, leadership or dedication, this is your opportunity to recognize them.

Nomination Timeline

Nominations are open now and will be accepted through Oct. 1.

After nominations close, submissions will be reviewed, and recipients will be recognized at the seventh annual Unity Awards celebration, date to be announced, and in our February issue.
