Community Contributions Grants (WPPI)

The City of Negaunee is pleased to announce this year’s Community Contributions Grant awardees. Earlier this spring, the city accepted applications of qualified organizations. Organizations must be non-profit and within the city limits of Negaunee, funds must be expended to help the overall organization or public at-large (cannot be for an individual), and could not have received this grant the year prior.

In total, $23,117.00 have been given through this program since 2006.

This year the City Council set aside $10,000 in grant funding. Funds are made possible through community relations funding from WPPI Energy, the not-for-profit wholesale power provider and joint action agency of which Negaunee is a member-owner.

This year’s Community Contributions Grants include the following organizations: Negaunee Firefighter’s Association, Friends of the Negaunee Public Library, Negaunee Public School Robotic Team, GINCC (Children’s Carnival), Negaunee DDA (IronTunes), Negaunee Beautification Committee, Negaunee VFW Post 3165, Negaunee Disc Golf Club, Iron Range Hockey Association, Negaunee High School Baseball, and the Ishpeming Skier’s Training Facilities,
