The organization with the most votes will get $30,000 and the four runner ups will get $15,000 each from WaterStone Bank in celebration of their 90th anniversary! Thank you WaterStone Bank!

If you don't know who to vote for, here are a couple of my favorite non-profit organizations:

Sojourner Family Peace Center - They provide advocacy and resources for victims of domestic violence. They make referrals to help clients get the legal help they need as well as connect them with counseling and provide group sessions for victims, batterers, and children who have witnessed the violence. They also provide emergency housing for women victims of domestic violence and their children.

The Women's Center, Inc - They provide emergency housing for women victims of domestic violence and their children. They also provide long term housing and many other services to victims of domestic violence in the Waukesha area.
