Since 1963, the Social Development Commission (SDC) has established itself as a leading advocate for low-income individuals and families in Milwaukee County by planning, coordinating, and providing human service programs. We invite you to learn more about us, what programs we have to offer, and more.
Here is how we use your donations… Ever wonder what is done with the monies from the check you just wrote to one of your preferred charities like the Social Development Foundation (SDF)? The Social Development Foundation has used the generous gifts from private individuals and corporate donors, Celebrity Chef special event proceeds, JCCLASSIC Golf Outing net profits and others to help fund programs and projects government does not fund.
Here’s how you and others make a difference when you make a donation to the SDF. See our list when you click here.
