Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin

What Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin does

Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit disability and community services organization headquartered in West Allis, Wisconsin, affiliated with the Easterseals National Network under parent Easter Seals, Inc. Founded in 1934 and operating with approximately 75 employees, it delivers direct human services across six counties in Southeast Wisconsin, reaching roughly 1,500 individuals annually through direct care and intervention, 400+ through respite camps, and 330+ at-risk families through early-childhood programming.

Its service portfolio spans the full lifecycle: Adult Respite, Camp and After School Programs (including an eight-week Summer Respite Camp), Employment and Independence services, Early Childhood and Family Support (with the Safe Babies Healthy Families home-visiting program for at-risk families with children from birth through age 5), and Guardianship and Advocacy. Services are delivered directly to individuals, families, and caregivers—primarily people with disabilities, families/caregivers, seniors, and at-risk families with young children—rather than through intermediaries, with no technology platform underpinning the model.

Revenue is generated through a mix of individual and corporate donations (one-time, monthly, and planned giving), event-based fundraising (annual gala), and government contracts and grants that fund disability, early-childhood, and family-support programming. The organization markets through its website, email newsletter, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), community storytelling, events, and partner referrals, while Charity Navigator Four-Star and GuideStar Platinum Transparency recognition in 2025 underwrites donor confidence. There is no publicly disclosed pricing; services are provided regardless of ability to pay.

Direct peers

• The Arc Wisconsin: Statewide disability advocacy and services organization serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Directly comparable mission and overlapping service categories, including advocacy, family support, and community inclusion programs.
• Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee: Large regional social services nonprofit based in Milwaukee providing family support, early childhood, and disability-related services. Competes for similar government contracts and donor dollars in the same geographic market.

Overlaps directly with Easterseals' Employment & Independence services and competes for similar workforce-development and disability-services funding.

Operates the brand standards, shared programming, and national advocacy infrastructure that this regional chapter draws from while delivering disability services across a much broader footprint.
• United Cerebral Palsy: National disability services nonprofit delivering direct support, housing, advocacy, and early childhood programs for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Operates as a national affiliate network analogous to Easterseals but with a narrower disability focus.

Others

Acts as a key funding intermediary that helps underwrite programs at organizations like Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin.

Emerging players

• Best Buddies International: National nonprofit focused on inclusion and friendship/employment programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable mission in the employment and community-inclusion space that Easterseals addresses through its programs.

Regional players

Overlaps with Easterseals' camp and after-school programs in target population and donor pool, though without the disability-specific specialization.
• Threshold (formerly Threshold Incorporated): Wisconsin-based disability services provider offering day services, supported employment, and community living supports. Closely mirrors Easterseals' Employment & Independence and adult services programs within an overlapping regional footprint.
