Committed to building stronger communities
Menasha has been a passionate supporter of worthy community projects and organizations for more than a century. Founder Elisha D. Smith’s philanthropic efforts helped less fortunate families and educational institutions far beyond the company’s hometown of Menasha, WI.
In 1953, Menasha’s ongoing corporate philanthropy led to the establishment of the Menasha Corporation Foundation. The Corporation serves as the primary source of funding. As a socially responsible business engrained with family values, the monetary donations and volunteerism from our employees builds loyalty and a high caliber workforce. Each generation becomes the power behind Menasha Corporation’s responsibility to the communities it serves, whether through the Foundation or high-quality, environmentally responsible products and services.
Our Foundation awards grants in four areas:
Safe and Healthy Citizens
Supports organizations and programs that provide basic needs for safe living, food and health care.
An Educated Society
Encourages programs that create and expand learning experiences and opportunities, adding to the next generation of productive citizens and assisting them in reaching their full potential in our ever-expanding global economy.
