We Energies Foundation providing $50,000 to strengthen public safety through Rewarding Responders Grant
Milwaukee – First responders work tirelessly to help everyone stay safe. The We Energies Foundation is once again supporting these vital agencies through its Rewarding Responders Grant. Emergency response agencies can apply for a grant now through June 15.
The We Energies Foundation will award $50,000 in grants to help public safety agencies receive lifesaving equipment or training. Last year, these grants helped nearly 30 agencies receive important safety tools such as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), combustible gas detectors and vehicle stabilization equipment.
Since 2020, the We Energies Foundation has provided $100,000 in grants to nearly 60 public safety agencies across Wisconsin.
