The Alliant Energy Foundation is an independent, non-profit philanthropic organization funded solely by an annual contribution from Alliant Energy Corporation, using shareowner dollars.
The Alliant Energy Foundation resulted from the merger of the charitable foundations and corporate-giving programs of the former IES Industries Inc., Interstate Power Company and WPL Holdings, Inc., which merged to form Alliant Energy in April 1998.
The Foundation’s board of directors is comprised of representatives from across Alliant Energy’s utility service area and funding decisions are considered on both a local and regional basis.

Administration

The Foundation, which is operated as a separate legal entity, is governed by a Board of Directors. The board, comprised of officers of Alliant Energy Corporation or its subsidiaries, reviews the Community Grants program guidelines on an annual basis.

The Foundation Executive Director manages the day-to-day operations of the Foundation and its programs. The Foundation staff administers the Community Grants program, with significant input and feedback from local Alliant Energy employees.
