2020 YEAR IN REVIEW A Letter from Our President and CEO In 2020, every American faced once unfathomable challenges.

Among the daunting list: parents struggled to work and homeschool, front line workers responded to the incessant demands of COVID, and scores of businesses made the painstaking decision to close for good. All of us relinquished a normal day-to-day life.

The pandemic’s effects spared no one and were exacerbated by a polarizing election, social unrest that resulted in rioting and destruction, and a dangerous movement to “cancel culture.”

While the events of the year fueled an already growing unease about the state of our union, America’s history reminds us that we’ve overcome seemingly insurmountable crises before, only to emerge stronger. Woven into the fabric of the country’s past are countless examples of the unbreakable spirit, gritty determination and boundless optimism that have come to define what it means to be American.

I’ve often found inspiration in one such example, which is the remarkable story of Lynde and Harry Bradley, the namesakes of this Foundation.

It took decades of trials and tribulations before the Bradley brothers turned their idea to improve controllers that regulate motor speed into a modestly successful manufacturing company in the late 1920s. Then the Great Depression hit. In less than two years, sales dropped more than 40 percent and their company’s survival was in doubt. Bradley Brothers “We were absolutely out of cash, the money we had saved was gone long ago, and the banks were deaf to all our entreaties,” wrote Harry Bradley.

They tried to keep employment stable but were eventually forced to make significant layoffs and deep pay cuts, including to their own salaries. Their beloved company Christmas party and picnic were also canceled.

Yet the brothers persevered by shifting their focus to the development of new products that helped them turn the company around. The Allen-Bradley Company grew to become one of the most successful businesses in the country and its former headquarters remains a Milwaukee icon.

Lynde and Harry’s endeavors began a century ago, but their challenges bear striking similarities to the experiences of business owners struggling to survive the pandemic.

1 The Bradley brothers’ generosity to their employees and to the community is also emblematic of the American character. They deeply believed in the dignity of each person and that a good society was one in which co-workers and neighbors enjoyed a vibrant community life. The Bradley family’s philanthropy had and continues to have a lasting impact on the arts, culture, education, and civil society in the Milwaukee area and beyond.

I share the Bradley story because it’s a poignant reminder that despite a pandemic and political divisiveness, America has endured difficult times before. Our country’s founding principles and “can do” outlook continue to make us a land of freedom and opportunity.

Only in America can anyone turn an idea into a successful venture. Only in America can citizens fail time after time and then pick themselves up to try again. And nowhere else in the world are people as willing to volunteer their time, talents, and resources.

The Bradley Foundation remains ever more committed to restoring, strengthening, and protecting the principles and institutions of as we move forward into 2021.

In the content ahead, you will see the groups who received the Foundation’s support last year. Their incredible work is reflective of our mission and I encourage you to learn more about them. I hope that in doing so, you too will be reminded of America’s resolve.

Sincerely,

Rick Graber, President & CEO, The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation

2 Our Philanthropic Legacy In 1903, brothers Lynde and Harry Bradley launched an endeavor in Milwaukee that would have a profound impact on both the local community and the nation. Through ingenuity, hard work, risk-taking, and compassion, they built a business that eventually became the Allen-Bradley Company, a leading electronic and radio components manufacturer. In 1985, the Allen-Bradley Company was sold to Rockwell International. A portion of the proceeds of that sale provided the initial funding for The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

Lynde and Harry Bradley believed in freedom and in the richness of community and culture that are the basis of a well-lived life. The Bradley Foundation seeks to further those beliefs by supporting the study, defense, and practice of the individual initiative and ordered liberty that lead to prosperity, strong families, and vibrant communities. So far, The Bradley Foundation has awarded over $1 billion in grants to almost 2,000 nonprofit organizations. This includes organizations supporting vibrant community life in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin, as well as organizations committed to preserving and defending the traditions of representative government and private enterprise that enable America to flourish.

Our Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles Steadfastly adhering to the principles and examples of its namesakes, Lynde and Harry Bradley, The Bradley Foundation envisions a nation invigorated by the principles and institutions that uphold our unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

To further this vision, The Bradley Foundation pursues a mission to restore, strengthen, and protect the principles and institutions of American exceptionalism.

The Foundation has articulated the following guiding principles to inform its grantmaking: • Fidelity to the Constitution, with its principles of , federalism, separation of powers, and individual liberties; • Commitment to free markets that allow for private enterprise, entrepreneurship, and voluntary exchange within the ; • Commitment to the fundamental institutions of civil society that cultivate individuals capable of self- governance; and • Dedication to the formation of informed and capable citizens.

21 Additional 2020 Bradley Foundation Supported Programs and Highlights In addition to grant making, The Bradley Foundation promotes the work of its grantees and facilitates discussion on ideas that enhance freedom and free enterprise. Here are several highlights from 2020:

The Bradley Speaker Series The Foundation launched two Speaker Series in 2020 to provide meaningful perspectives on current events. Conceived in Liberty features interviews with Bradley Prize winners who address what the latest developments mean to our deeply held values and freedoms. We the People features insights and ideas from Foundation grant recipients committed to solving challenges in their communities and throughout the country. Both series are intended to help make sense of the complex challenges the country faces and to engage viewers in the ideas of American exceptionalism.

22 The Bradley Bulletin Also new in 2020 was a quarterly e-newsletter to share the work of the Foundation and its grantees. The Bulletin features grantee spotlights, Bradley events and news, and a sampling of books and videos supported by the Foundation.

The Bradley Symphony Center In February, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (MSO) announced its new performance home would be named The Bradley Symphony Center in honor of Harry and Peg Bradley. The Center stands in tribute to the Bradley family’s lasting impact on Milwaukee’s civic and cultural landscape. The naming followed the gifting by David and Julia Uihlein, Lynde Uihlein, and The Bradley Foundation of $52 million toward the renovation of the former Warner Grand Theater into a dedicated performance home for the MSO. Bradley’s portion of the gift marked its largest contribution to any single project in the Foundation’s history.
