Community Contributions Grants (WPPI)

City Manger Nate Heffron is pleased to announce Negaunee’s Community Contributions Grants program for 2024. Starting April 24, 2024, until May 24, 2024, the city will be accepting applications for this program. Qualifications for this program include the following:

• Must be non-profit organization within the city limits of Negaunee,
• Funds must be expended to help the overall organization or public at-large (cannot be for an individual),
• Cannot have received this grant the year prior.

In total, $33,117.00 have been given through this program since 2006. “This is a great way to give back to our local non-profits, they are the backbone of our community,” Heffron said.  

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.
