Wisconsin Fuel Funds
- The Campaign to Keep Wisconsin Warm (CKWW), was created in 1994
by Energy Services, Inc, (ESI), a nonprofit that provides LIHEAP
services in the Madison area. It received $200,000 in seed money
in late 1996, as one of several
low-income energy pilots funded by the Wisconsin governor's
office from oil overcharge funds.
Within less than a year, CKWW succeeded in raising over $200,000
in matching funds from private sector contributions. The program raised over $5 million in 2006.
With ESI as the primary administering agency, funds are provided
statewide to preferentially-selected LIHEAP administering agencies
and other non-profits for distribution to low-income households.
- Fuel funds sponsored by gas and electric utilities.
