Minnesota Energy Resources works tirelessly to safely serve its customers and communities each day. To assist those who also strive to uphold public safety, Minnesota Energy Resources and its charitable giving organization, the Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Foundation, are offering grants of up to $2,000 to emergency response agencies in the energy company’s service area. Grant applications are being accepted now through June 15.
Last year, the WPS Foundation awarded nearly $10,000 total to six emergency response agencies in the Minnesota Energy Resources service area through the grant, which helps organizations provide professional training or equipment for their staff.
To be eligible to receive the grant, emergency response agencies must demonstrate the equipment or training they wish to acquire is part of a well-detailed effort to improve public safety. Organizations that received a grant in 2017 are not eligible to receive a grant again this year.
Emergency response agencies interested in the grant can apply online. More detailed information on the grant and the application guidelines can be found on the Minnesota Energy Resources website https://accel.minnesotaenergyresources.com/business/worth_energy_grant.aspx.
