Overview

The Wisconsin Public Service Foundation Grant supports local communities through charitable contributions, focusing on areas such as arts, education, and human services. Funded by shareholders, not utility customers, the foundation awards nearly $1.4 million annually to nonprofit organizations that enhance community quality of life. Eligible projects must align with specific funding areas and be located within the service area. The foundation encourages innovative projects that foster community engagement and development.

Wisconsin Public Service Foundation is the philanthropic entity for WPS and other subsidiaries of our holding company, WEC Energy Group. In other words, the foundation and the utility are two different organizations, with two very different purposes. The foundation is funded by our shareholders, not by our utility customers.
