The Generac Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Generac Power Systems, launched in 2023 to formalize the company’s long-standing community giving.

We will primarily contribute to organizations based in our Generac communities or that provide direct services in a geography that includes one of our manufacturing facilities or offices, and align to our giving priorities.

Foundation Priorities:

• Education

Most of our charitable efforts will focus on the education of young people. We want to inspire, engage, and equip diverse and underserved populations with STEM skills needed for a bright future and sustainable wages that education can help provide.

-STEM skills K-12 

Our focus is on reaching underserved and underrepresented youth to deliver skill development programs, inspiration and hands-on opportunities in STEM. 

-Career, College & Tech School Readiness 

We want to help young people experience the variety of pathways for their future. Upskilling, mentoring, apprenticeships, exploration days and training programs that provide young people or adults with new possibilities will be considered. 

-Next Gen Engineers & Electricians 

Two key mindsets or professions will help fuel innovation in the future: engineers and electricians. We seek programs that will generate interest in these career paths.

• Responders

We want to support and applaud those who respond to the call for help throughout our communities.

-Disaster Response & Preparedness 

We will support organizations that provide resources and assistance during disasters, and help people prepare for disasters from home fires to weather-related. 

-Veterans and Military Families 

We seek to honor and support those who have served our country. 

-Community Volunteers 

We will consider requests to support volunteerism. 

-First Responders 

We will review requests that provide support, recognition, training, or tools to local first responders in our communities.

-Clean Energy Education 

We will concentrate on supporting programs that aim to educate and engage people with clean energy and adopting it in our society. 

-Clean Energy Innovation 

We seek to partner with educational institutions and nonprofits that provide platforms for innovation, inspiration, and exploration into clean energy solutions for the future. This can include education-based energy-related research and hands-on challenges to explore possibilities.
