The Zilber Family Foundation presented UWM’s Joseph J. Zilber College of Public Health with a record-breaking $20 million gift to support faculty excellence and student achievement.
The funding will continue to advance health equity on behalf of the people of Milwaukee by supporting two endowments: the Zilber Faculty Excellence Fund and the Vera Zilber Student Program Fund. It’s an investment in the people who make the program a transformative force in Milwaukee.
“Zilber Family Foundation is honored to continue Joe and Vera Zilber’s legacy with a donation of the largest single gift in the history of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee – and one of the largest gifts given to a school of public health across the country,” said Gina Stilp, executive director of Zilber Family Foundation. “The $20 million commitment will continue to promote public health, prevent disease and advance health equity in Milwaukee for years to come.”
