Contribution

Wright Service Corp. (WSC) recognizes the important role that charitable, non-profit organizations play in the communities where we live and work. To align with our values and mission, we strive to provide financial contributions and volunteer support to causes/ organizations that support public safety, sustainable communities and environments, champion education and innovation within the vegetation management industry and our communities and support the health and well-being of families.

A charitable giving policy was established in 2020 to outline qualifications that must be met for all giving efforts. In 2022, a new Culture Club committee was created to take the funding and decision making to the employees with oversight from the WSC President and CEO, and Marketing and Communications department. This three person volunteer committee is comprised of women from three different departments, with a breadth of experience and passion for giving back to our communities. To align with the WSC mission and core values, the company’s charitable giving focuses in six areas:

  • Health and well-being  
  • Innovation and education  
  • Sustainable environments and communities  
  • Industry (labor/agriculture/arboriculture
  • Disaster recovery
  • Veteran support

Although WSC contributes monetarily to organizations and causes, brand recognition often goes toward subsidiaries such as Wright Outdoor Solutions in the markets they serve in Iowa.
