The Milwaukee Community Land Trust is a 501c3 nonprofit membership based corporation. We raise private and public funds to pay our staff, and we are governed by a volunteer board of directors. All of our homeowners are automatically members, and any other resident of the City of Milwaukee can join and become a member of MCLT by paying a $1 membership fee each year. The MCLT Board of Directors consists of: 1/3 General Representatives – people with a particular expertise who are interested in supporting our work. 1/3 Community Members – residents of the City of Milwaukee and the neighborhoods in which we work who are interested in supporting our work. 1/3 Homeowner Members – people who own homes on MCLT land who are interested in supporting our work. Since we don’t currently have any homeowners, these seats are currently filled by people who can represent the interests of a Homeowner. Board terms are staggered, so each year at the annual meeting members vote to elect any new board members necessary to fill any empty board seats. Homeowner board members are elected by Homeowner members. The other board members are elected by the general membership – people like you!
