The Friends of the Max Kade Institute

The Friends of the Max Kade Institute provide crucial support for MKI's activities. In addition to funding production of the quarterly Friends Newsletter as well as the MKI Monograph Series, the Friends also assist with outreach programs and provide essential support for bringing national and international scholars to Wisconsin to teach and provide public lectures. They also donate important and useful resources to the MKI's library. Ultimately, supporting the Max Kade Institute helps to support the heritage of German-American immigrants and keeps knowledge of their experiences alive as a viable field of study.
