Matching Gifts
The Matching Gifts Program is designed to encourage our employees and retirees to actively support nonprofit organizations within our communities. This program also gives employees and retirees a voice in selecting organizations to be funded by Wisconsin Public Service Foundation, Inc.
Wisconsin Public Service Foundation will match $1 for each $1 of eligible employee or retiree contributions. The minimum employee or retiree contribution to any one organization that will be matched is $50. The maximum match per employee or retiree per fiscal year ending December 1 is $2,000.
Contributions to organizations in four categories may be eligible for matching funds. Each organization should serve within the company's operating territory and must be tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to educational institutions and faith based organizations are not eligible for inclusion in the Matching Gifts Program at this time. The Matching Gifts Program coordinator has a list of benefiting organizations in the following areas:
- Arts and culture
- Community and neighborhood development
- Human services and health
- Environment
An employee or retiree needs to submit a Matching Gifts Form to the nonprofit organization by December 1 of each year.
Questions should be directed to the Matching Gifts program coordinator, Wisconsin Public Service Foundation, 920-433-1532.
