MILWAUKEE, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- We Energies and its parent company, WEC Energy Group, announced a $100,000 donation today to help local businesses that sustained damage during recent protests. The grant money will be provided by the We Energies Foundation to the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) Community Foundation's Rebuild and Revitalize fund.
The Rebuild and Revitalize program provides grants to affected business owners to fund repairs, replace inventory and meet other needs. These include businesses in the Martin Luther King Drive, Harambee, Sherman Park and Near South Side neighborhoods.
"We believe Milwaukee and the region are stronger and better positioned for a more prosperous future when our diversity is highlighted, our communities are inclusive and our businesses are thriving," said Kevin Fletcher, president and CEO — WEC Energy Group.
"We are grateful to the We Energies Foundation for supporting this effort," said Tim Sheehy, president — MMAC. "This commitment to strengthen diverse businesses in our community is yet another example of We Energies' strong engagement in the future of our region."

With this donation, the MMAC has raised over $700,000 for the Rebuild and Revitalize program. The MMAC is working with neighborhood business improvement districts and the City of Milwaukee to validate the needs of the businesses and distribute the grants.
"We know that Milwaukee will not reach its full potential until we address our racial disparities and become a region of choice for everyone," said Jonas Prising, chair — MMAC, and chairman and CEO — ManpowerGroup. "This is a long journey, and one we're committed to. One step we can take today is investing to rebuild and revitalize these businesses, many of which are owned by people from underrepresented backgrounds. Their success shows a path to the next generation of diverse small business owners, and is critical to the future of our region."
