GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – The Green Bay Packers Foundation was extraordinarily generous this year, handing out a record $1.25 million to charities and civic groups this year.
The foundation says 243 charitable and civic organizations in Wisconsin received grants, including 17 totaling almost $100,000 in Brown County.
The Packers Foundation hosted a luncheon at Lambeau Field to award the annual grants. This year it focused on directing those funds to organizations that work in fields like health and wellness, environmental protection, and animal welfare. (A complete list appears at the end of this article.)
Organizations have to use the grant money for the program identified in their application for the grant. Next year, the grant cycle will focus on helping the elderly, the homeless and the hungry.
The Packers also gave a record $1.35 million in impact grants earlier this year, for a total of $2.6 million distributed by the foundation this year. Impact grants went to:
- Bellin Health Foundation Inc.
- Center for Black Excellence and Culture
- Curative Connections
- Friends of the Fox River Trail
- Golden House
- Milwaukee Public Schools Foundation
- Syble Hopp
Since 1986, the Packers Foundation has awarded more than $19 million to organizations helping their communities.
