Generating Change Program

How it works

The official billing page says the Generating Change program was created so Marquette Board of Light & Power customers could help needy families in the community. Customers donated by rounding up their monthly bill, and those contributions were pooled to provide one-time utility assistance. The program was administered by the Salvation Army of Marquette County, which screened applicants and determined the level of support.

What the money covers

The page describes assistance for utility bills, not home repairs or hardening work. Specifically, the proceeds were used for customers who could not make their utility bill payments during the winter months.

Amounts and matching

No fixed award amount, cap, or match requirement is stated on the page. The page only says the program provided one-time utility assistance and that all proceeds stayed within the Marquette Board of Light & Power community.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not provide an application window, deadline, or current intake information for this program. It reads as a description of a past or ongoing community assistance effort rather than a live homeowner hardening incentive.

Current status

The page does not show a current application form or a current funding status for Generating Change.
