Wisconsin Public Service Foundation is a private, charitable foundation that supports charities and organizations in need of financial assistance.

The foundation, incorporated in 1964, is funded by shareholders of their parent company, not by their electric and gas customers.

The foundation provides nearly $1.2 million annually in contributions to programs in the following areas:

Georgia-Pacific Foundation Green Bay Operations

Georgia-Pacific believes that strong communities are good for business. Our core philosophy is anchored in a belief that for a business to survive and prosper, it must develop and use its capabilities to create sustainable value for both its customers and society. The purpose of the Georgia-Pacific Foundation is to help create and fund those programs and initiatives that add value to, and measurably improve, the quality of life within the communities where Georgia-Pacific employees live and work.

We believe that self-reliance and economic fortitude are indispensable components of vibrant communities. The Foundation primarily invests our resources in four key areas that are essential to creating and sustaining strong communities:

• Education
• Environment
• Community Enrichment
• Entrepreneurship 

Georgia-Pacific leverages these four key areas ("The Four Es") to impact communities.

We believe that community outreach takes on many forms, but the end result must always be to add value to the organizations and communities we support.

 Waste Management

Thank You!

Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity offers sincere gratitude to the Estate of Jim Garrity in recognition of its generous, substantial and very timely gift to ReStore. 

For many years, Mr. Jim Garrity owned and operated the very successful Riverview Lumber Company located on Broadway in Green Bay.  Mr. Garrity passed away in February 2008.

In November 2008, Mrs. Helen Vande Hei (Mr. Garrity’s sister and personal representative of his estate) contacted Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity.  The purpose of her call was to offer the complete inventory and fixtures of Riverview Lumber Company as a donation to Habitat for Humanity. 

Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity had been involved in discussions, research and planning for a ReStore for a number of years.  The Board of Directors made its decision to move forward with these plans and open a ReStore in Green Bay.  The gift from the Estate of Jim Garrity was offered to Habitat for Humanity just a few weeks later.

A generous gift, a substantial gift and a very timely gift.

We do believe in miracles!
