STURTEVANT, Wis., July 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Andis Foundation, Andis Company's philanthropic organization dedicated to building stronger families and communities, today announced its 2023 grant recipients. Partnering with five non-profit organizations both within Wisconsin and beyond, the Andis Foundation is proud to offer its financial support to programs dedicated to creating a lasting impact within their communities.
"From its inception, Andis Foundation has strived to support organizations who can help make the largest, positive impact and help all kids succeed and thrive," said Laura Andis Bishop, Andis Foundation President. "I am confident our 2023 grant recipients will help us continue that mission of driving positive change."

- Pawsperity: Kansas City-based Pawsperity offers vocational training in the pet grooming industry for unemployed parents, offering stability and self-sufficiency. The organization is a multi-time grant recipient.
- Racine Zoo: The Racine Zoo's Summer Camp experience is again receiving support from Andis Foundation, as this program leads kids to develop a deeper understanding and positive values of ecology and conservation. This year, the Andis Foundation is the sole sponsor of the Summer Camp program.
- River Bend Nature Center & Andis Chickadee Trail: After Partnering with the River Bend Nature Center post-pandemic to create the Andis Chickadee Trail, Andis Foundation will continue its support to offer families safe, fun opportunities to connect with nature and each other at no cost.
