Fiesha Parker, a FAST Fund recipient, explains the Fund's impact on her life:

I am so thankful for MATC and the FAST FUND!!! With everything going on in the world, with racism and being black, the Pandemic, and the murder of my nephew who was shot several times in June, 2020 has not been a good year for me. On top of all those things I lost my financial aid this semester. I felt like all odds were against me.
That’s when I reached out for help. I was turned away by several other programs offered at MATC but was referred to the FAST FUND. The FAST FUND got me so much help overnight it seems. I got a call from FAST FUND on a Thursday and by Sunday I received an email with funds helping me pay for my classes. This is a dream come true! I’m so thankful that there are people out there who actually care. I cried because this year had been so terrible and I feel like I finally got my breakthrough! Because of you all I feel like I was given a second chance at achieving my goals. I will finish school! I will become a nurse! Thank you.
Please help us help students like Feisha by becoming an Ambassador and promoting the FAST Fund’s Giving Tuesday Campaign and contributing to the FAST Fund.

“I started my career in retail and I relocated for Express fashion, working on the talent management side… I was really familiar with Milwaukee already, having two uncles who lived here … I spent summers here so I was familiar with the city and I thought that if I was going to plant roots somewhere, I really needed to look at Milwaukee.”
“My role as the major gifts officer, it’s really a partnership between the foundation and our donors. My role is to really think about what our donors are interested in, what legacies they want to leave behind, what are their philanthropic interests and their financial interests and really connecting those.”
What makes you passionate about Milwaukee?
“Milwaukee has a base of young professionals that are really, really engaged in the community and this new generation of leaders that really seem to be connected across these various organizations … Once you start investing in the city it just kind of feels like home and you just kind of want to plant your roots here.”
Difference between corporate and nonprofit world?
“They’re more similar than they are different, in my opinion. I think definitely you have to navigate the corporate playing field just as much as you do in the nonprofit sector … You have to really understand the culture but really connecting with customers at the customer service level in retail is very similar to serving your community partners at the nonprofit level.”
