Childhood Cancer Program

We believe in a future without childhood cancer. It’s why the Northwestern Mutual Foundation has donated more than $65 million to accelerate the search for better treatments and cures, while also supporting families undergoing treatment and survivors living with late effects.

Strengthening Our Communities

We’re focused on improving the quality of life for all Milwaukee residents. That means changing lives for the better by building education and opportunity pathways for all students regardless of economic status, by revitalizing Milwaukee neighborhoods, and by increasing access to Milwaukee’s cultural attractions.

Volunteer Time Off

All employees are given 16 hours of paid time off each year to volunteer in their community. Employees can also earn grants for their favorite nonprofits through our matching gifts and volunteer rewards program.

At Northwestern Mutual, corporate philanthropy means investing in the well-being of the communities where we live and work. Through the Northwestern Mutual Foundation, we support education, childhood cancer research and treatment, and community development to help create lasting, positive change.

The Northwestern Mutual Foundation supports communities in a variety of ways, including funding programs that expand access to education, investing in childhood cancer research and treatment, revitalizing Milwaukee neighborhoods and encouraging employees to give back through Volunteer Time Off. Together, these initiatives help create lasting, positive change in the communities where we live and work.
