Brady Corporation Foundation Receives Pathfinders’ 2023 Community Partner Award

MILWAUKEE, 9/25/23– Brady Corporation Foundation is the recipient of Pathfinders’ 2023 Community Partner Award, recognizing the commitment the Foundation has made to Milwaukee’s most vulnerable youth and young adults through financial and volunteer support of Pathfinders.

“We are so grateful for the support of Brady Corporation Foundation,” said Tim Baack, Pathfinders’ President & CEO. “In Milwaukee, more than 15,000 young people experience homelessness each year. Pathfinders offers a depth and breadth of resources to meet the complex needs of our community’s unhoused youth and young adults, and the Foundation’s longtime partnership allows us to reach more young people more effectively.”

Brady Foundation began supporting Pathfinders in 2018 and is one of the organization’s largest corporate donors. Through grants, employee donations and matching gifts, the Foundation supports many Pathfinders programs and services, including support for young people to find and sustain safe housing, street outreach services, support for those experiencing sexual exploitation and trafficking, emergency youth shelter, education and mental wellness.

In 2020, the Foundation made an emergency donation to help Pathfinders respond to the critical and emerging needs of young people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The award was accepted by Brady Corporation’s Kate Venne, Senior Director of Corporate Communications and Social Responsibility.

“The Brady Foundation is honored to be recognized for our years of partnership,” said Venne. “The reason we continue to support Pathfinders is best summed up by this sentence from our Foundation’s mission statement: We believe that the best outcomes happen when data, research and proven methodologies intersect with lived experiences, inclusive representation and diverse leadership. That is exactly who Pathfinders is, and we are proud to support them.”
