Catalyzing change through grants and community supports
The Zilber Family Foundation envisions a world where every individual, family, and neighborhood has the resources and opportunities to prosper. Our mission to increase social and economic opportunity is fulfilled by investing in a range of supports to meet the basic needs of people living in poverty, and in programs and systems that create pathways to economic stability and improved quality of life.
We understand that true transformation requires the dismantling of inequitable systems that leave some people and communities with a scarcity of resources and opportunities. By working across sectors and systems, we not only enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and neighborhoods, but also contribute to the vital work of creating long-term change that paves the way to a more equitable future for historically marginalized people and communities.
Check out our annual impact report to learn in detail how the Foundation is catalyzing this change.
Corporate and Employee Giving
The Zilber Family Foundation is a majority owner of Zilber Ltd., a full-service real estate company founded by Joseph J. Zilber over 75 years ago. We support workplace giving campaigns throughout Zilber Ltd.’s Milwaukee headquarters and regional offices. These employee-driven campaigns are a crucial component to our giving strategy and empower employees to give back to their communities in meaningful and impactful ways.

Zilber Gives Back
Zilber Gives Back is a joint effort of the Zilber Family Foundation and Zilber Ltd. to support Zilber Ltd. employees’ commitment to making a difference in their communities. Each year, a Zilber Ltd. regional office selects a nonprofit organization whose purpose fits the Foundation’s mission and works with that organization to develop a volunteer service day for Zilber employees. The Foundation provides a donation to the same organization. In 2023, the West Florida regional office selected Habitat for Humanity of Sarasota as the recipient.
