December 17, 2014 by Northwestern Mutual Leave a Comment

Northwestern Mutual, through its Foundation, is recognizing local area nonprofits with grants totaling $225,000 through its Days of Sharing program. Now in its seventh year, the Days of Sharing program provides employees with the opportunity to nominate a nonprofit organization in the Milwaukee area to receive funding from the Northwestern Mutual Foundation.

“Our Days of Sharing program allows our employees to recognize local nonprofits that enrich and improve our communities,” said John Kordsmeier, president, Northwestern Mutual Foundation. “Employees at Northwestern Mutual have a shared passion of giving back, this program is a way for us to spotlight their dedication and volunteer service.”

More than 700 employees nominated their preferred local nonprofit. The 25 winning grants were chosen at random each day for a week in November and range in size from $1,000 to $10,000. Watch employee winners being surprised by clicking http://youtu.be/EKUqaHDPQ6k.
