About the company
Milwaukee Riverkeeper Inc., a Wisconsin-based tax-exempt nonprofit, acts as a prime recipient on federal environmental restoration grants and as a sub-recipient on state grants funded by the federal government, with no federal prime contracts in its recent footprint. The organization's federal grant work centers on freshwater ecosystem restoration, water quality improvement, and fish passage in Great Lakes tributaries and the Milwaukee River watershed.
Milwaukee Riverkeeper operates in a narrow customer base of two federal agencies. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for two awards (sub-recipient role on grants passed through the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 accounts for one prime grant award. This concentration reflects the organization's mission-specific focus on aquatic habitat restoration rather than broad federal service delivery.
The organization's prime grant work includes a $447 thousand project grant awarded by DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 on July 1, 2024, with ultimate completion on December 31, 2026. Under this award, Milwaukee Riverkeeper will remove the Mill Pond Dam on Nichols Creek in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, restoring approximately 1,200 linear feet of stream habitat, removing an aquatic barrier to fish passage, and reconnecting coldwater ecosystems fragmented over more than 100 years. Deliverables include final design plans and engineering specifications, an ecosystem restoration plan for riparian and upland natural communities, state and federal permits, construction inspection reports, water quality and fishery monitoring data, and educational outreach materials distributed through local media outlets and scientific conferences.
As a sub-recipient, Milwaukee Riverkeeper engages on two grants administered by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration: "Sturgeon Protectors: Engaging a Diverse Community to Protect Lake Sturgeon in the Milwaukee River" (awarded August 27, 2024) and "Connecting Communities: Refreshing and Reprinting the Milwaukee Urban Water Trail Map" (awarded September 30, 2025). Activity remains nascent, with only three total federal awards recorded since July 2024 and a combined obligation of $447 thousand across the footprint.
