Milwaukee Awards for Neighborhood Development Innovation 

Since 1999, LISC Milwaukee has hosted the Milwaukee Awards for Neighborhood Development Innovation (MANDI). The MANDIs highlight the unsung heroes working hard to revitalize Milwaukee’s most distressed urban neighborhoods. This Oscar-style event is attended by 750 civic leaders including neighborhood residents, nonprofits, private sector leaders, and elected officials. The MANDIs have grown into the premier event for the community development world, and it tells the much-needed story of what’s right with Milwaukee’s neighborhoods. The MANDI Selection Committee includes a panel of 40 volunteers.

Make Your Voice Heard– And Help a Nonprofit Win $1,000!

The Wells Fargo People’s Choice Award is a brand new interactive award category where the winner is chosen by the public through an online voting system. The goal is to increase exposure to the good work of the finalists in the broader community. The three groups who receive the most votes will each receive $1000!  Please cast your vote between March 30-April 14 at milwaukeenns.org/mandivote

Starting Monday, March 30, articles written by Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service and videos produced by LISC Milwaukee about each finalist can be found at milwaukeenns.org/mandivote.

Hosted by US Bank, the MANDIs will be held on Wednesday, April 15th, at the Potawatomi Event Center. A cocktail hour and Neighborhood Art Walk will be held from 4:15-5:30pm followed by dinner and awards from 5:30-7:30pm. The evening will close with a Neighborhood Dessert Reception and DJ from 7:30-9pm. For registration and information visit http://www.lisc.org/milwaukee/mandi/2015_mandi/index.php

“The MANDIs shine a light on inspiring stories of passionate, creative, and effective leaders and projects, working hard to make our city great. We want to help the public have a more complete picture of what’s happening in Milwaukee’s central city. These groups need our support, and deserve our recognition.” said Dawn Hutchison-Weiss, Communications Director for LISC Milwaukee.
