Greywolf Foundation Marks Major Milestone of More Than $100,000 in Charitable Giving
Cottage Grove, Wis. – February 6th, 2023 – The Greywolf Foundation, Inc., the charitable organization associated with Greywolf Partners, Inc., a full-service commercial real estate firm, has provided chartable grants and assistance in excess of $115,000. Formally created in 2021, the Greywolf Foundation, has achieved this milestone donation amount in less than two years.
In 2022, the Greywolf Foundation’s total charitable giving exceeded $80,000, which is more than double the amount it did in 2021, its inaugural year of giving. During the past year, the organization, which focuses on making a lasting, positive impact on its local communities by improving the lives and opportunities for its residents, gave charitable grants to 42 different organizations and efforts.
“The Greywolf Foundation was able to truly hit the ground running and really support organizations that are benefiting people and having an impact on our local communities,” said Andrew Haring, Director of the Greywolf Foundation. “To surpass $100,000 in giving in just two short years is remarkable. It certainly motivates us to build more relationships and grow so that we can continue to make an even bigger difference helping others.”
Highlighted activities that were completed over the past year include:
- A partnership between Park Vista Senior Housing Management (PVSHM) and the Greywolf Foundation that raised over $24,000 as part of the Oppose Alzheimer’s Initiative to donate to the Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin Chapter. This effort included raising awareness of the challenges related with this disease and associated dementia as well as to raise funds for the treatment, care and research opportunities which are combating Alzheimer’s disease. Activities included being a Wisconsin Statewide sponsor for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which included eight teams and more than 60 participants, who raised money for the cause. Additionally, the staff, residents, family and friends from five different PVSHM facilities raised money and awareness of the Oppose Alzheimer’s Initiative though various activities throughout the year.
- BB Jack’s Cottage Grove partners with the Greywolf Foundation for their monthly Pizza With a Purpose program. In this initiative, a community organization is identified and highlighted during the month and BB Jack’s donates $5 from every Pizza of the Week purchased. Funds donated from the Pizza With a Purpose program are not included with the Greywolf Foundation giving totals.
“I am so proud that the Greywolf Foundation has already surpassed this milestone of giving,” said Denise Wagner, President of the Greywolf Foundation. “We are impacting our local communities, by being a direct resource to those in need and I couldn’t be happier to see how many people and different organizations are benefiting from our efforts.”
“The impact of the Greywolf Foundation is made possible because of the help and support of so many people – including our donors, sponsors, volunteers, board members, Greywolf Partners staff, as well as the Wagner family,” added Haring.
