Contribution
Wright Service Corp. (WSC) recognizes the important role that charitable, nonprofit 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. 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 subsidiary Wright Outdoor Solutions in the markets they serve in Iowa.

Beyond monetary donations, each WSC full-time employee has eight hours of paid time per year to use toward volunteering for a company-sponsored event, or a charity or nonprofit of their choice. Participation in these company-organized activities is usually coordinated by either the Charitable Giving committee or the Community Involvement committee.
