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. In 1998, responding to the fund's support and recognizing the need for a fuel fund and LIHEAP partnership, the Governor and the state legislature provided CKWW additional $700,000 through oil overcharge funds.
  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.
