#FridayGiving: We Energies employees pledge over $425K to United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County

The problems our community faces are complex and interrelated and, in many cases, too broad for a single nonprofit to take on by itself. That’s where United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County comes in. 

This month, hundreds of We Energies employees pledged part of their paychecks to support this incredible organization, totaling more than $425,000. In addition, the We Energies Foundation has contributed more than $1.1 million to United Way this year alone. 

United Way does more than raise money and write checks. It encourages the agencies it supports to network, collaborate and learn about issues that shape their fields. We’re proud to be longtime supporters. 

All of the money raised will stay in our communities. In 2019, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County served over 200,000 of our friends and neighbors.
