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, $37,611.00 have been given through this program since 2009.

This year the City Council set aside $1500 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 are awarded to the Iron Range Hockey Association ($750, Learn to Skate Program) and the Iron Town Dog Park ($750, tool purchases).

Questions concerning this release may be directed to the attention of the City Treasurer, Brian Downing at (906) 475-7700 ext. 16.
