Cream City Foundation Case Study

When first starting at Cream City Foundation, I obviously did not know anything about it or anyone involved with it. I was first in contact with Emmet, the foundation’s development associate, simply to introduce myself and to ask for Maggie’s contact information. Maggie, who I work with the most, is a great and easy person to talk to and work with. Maggie and I are able to bounce ideas off of each other and build off one another when working on my research project. I was also able to meet Eddie my first day in the office, however each time that I have been back at the site, Eddie has not been there, so I have not been able to get to know him as much as I would have hoped for.

Eddie attended UW- Stevens Point where he was able to serve as Co-President for his University’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance.

Emmet attended the Art Institute of Chicago, where he worked with many other organizations before coming to Cream City Foundation. He mainly focuses on fundraising and development of the foundation by using database management, prospect research, grant writing, and much more. While Maggie is still a student at UW- Milwaukee, she works extremely hard to help out Emmet and Eddie with projects that Cream City Foundation is working on.

My college experience in comparison is a bit different than Maggie’s. I attend Marquette University, where I am a twenty-two-year old senior and am double majoring in Speech-Language Pathology and Women Gender Studies. I have also been a rower all four years, studied abroad in Galway, did service learning in West Allis, and have had multiple opportunities to work with both children and adults in the Marquette University Speech and Hearing Clinic. And while I have had the majority of my collegiate career focused on my Speech-Language Pathology major, I have only recently had the pleasure of turning my WGST minor into a major and have had great opportunities come of it. Without this WGST major, I never would have experienced this fantastic opportunity to work with Cream City Foundation, and to continue to learn so much more about the LGBT
