Motto Inc., a locally owned and operated business, has become Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance’s newest Lifetime Business Member with a substantial donation of $18,262 to support water quality initiatives in the Winnebago Waterways Recovery Area. Their donation will have an even bigger impact because a percentage will be matched by the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation’s Give Big Green Bay program.
The Winnebago Waterways Program facilitates regional coordination and implementation of recovery efforts for the Winnebago Lakes and surrounding watersheds. Priority implementation projects are outlined in the Winnebago Waterways Lake Management Plan. Winnebago Waterways is a program of the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance. The Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is an independent non-profit organization that works to protect and restore the water resources of the Fox-Wolf River Basin. We are focused on finding cost effective, science-based solutions. To meet our goals, we work with partners to maximize efficiencies, bringing resources to those who are already doing great work while utilizing our strengths to fill gaps when needed.
While this is Motto Inc’s largest contribution to date, this is not the first time they have donated to our organization. They have been a supporter of our work in the Winnebago Waterways Program for some time.
This year, in addition to their financial contribution, Motto Inc also nominated the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance to join 1% for the Planet.
1% for the Planet connects businesses and individuals who pledge to give 1% of their sales back to the planet each year with approved environmental nonprofits around the world. This partnership will help Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance connect with more businesses who share the same values of promoting water quality and environmental stewardship.
Motto Inc, a business member of 1% for the Planet, lives up to their commitment to support active and eco-conscious lifestyles through quality branded products and their ongoing support of various causes that improve the community and environment. We invite you to learn more about this local business by visiting their website: www.mottoinc.com
We cannot put into words just how much Motto Inc’s support of our organization’s mission and work means to our staff and the waters of Northeast Wisconsin. A huge thank you to Rob and his team (pictured at top)!
