History
IWF was established in 1994 by a broad coalition of concerned citizens,
labor organizations, academics, professionals, religious leaders,
and advocacy groups. Founding organizations include the Wisconsin
State AFL-CIO, the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the
Wisconsin Conference of Churches, and the Wisconsin Council on Children
and Families.
Major funding for IWF comes from the Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation, the Rockefeller
Foundation and the Ford
Foundation. Other foundations, labor unions, and individual
donations also support IWF.
Mission
The Institute for Wisconsin's Future has a mission to:
- Inform Wisconsin residents about issues and
policies that affect their lives;
- Encourage broader citizen involvement in public
policy debates and decision making; and
- Provide a progressive voice in debates on policies
that impact working families in the state.
In order to increase public awareness of and involvement in state
policy decisions, IWF works to produce and disseminate analyses
of key public policy issues and coordinate community education campaigns
to inform the public about critical issues. »
