Grant Recipients

Youth Development in Peru

Wisconsin Peace Corps Volunteer Adam Riley partnered with local community members to create a safe, welcoming space where young people can gather for recreational activities, learning opportunities, and leadership development.

Health in Zambia

We donated to an HIV prevention project in Zambia led by Hahns Huebsch from Osceola, WI. Our funding supported training for local health volunteers in HIV counseling, testing, and ART drug distribution, improving access for remote communities. The project also promotes peer education to dispel HIV myths and reduce stigma.

Education/Library in Madagascar ​

In honor of Member Dzidra Benish the MPCA supported a small, standalone library and multipurpose room at a local high school, providing dedicated space for studying, clubs, community events, and digital literacy training for students, teachers, and neighborhood members.

Supporting the Milwaukee Community

To support those in need in our local community we donated to Hunger Task Force, a local organization that helps feed families across Wisconsin. We have also volunteered with them through box packing drives throughout the year.
