For Partners and Investors

A partner table built for long-term neighborhood change

The DEER Investment Committee brings together the relationships, judgment, and firepower it takes to back serious, long-term work in Milwaukee.

Why we exist

DEER is at a turning point. The model is proven, the opportunity is growing, and more partners are taking a serious look at what we're building.

National partners are sizing us up right now, and in those conversations, how we show up in public matters.

Strategic alignment

Everyone, funders, partners, and DEER itself, rowing in the same direction.

Access to capital

Relationships that open doors DEER couldn't open on its own.

Peer-level relationships

Introductions and credibility that come from being in the room with the right people.

Visible accountability

A committee whose involvement tells people this is being taken seriously.
