At its December 2025 Town Hall meeting, Acuity’s employees voted to distribute $500,000 among six charitable organizations: Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation; Fresh Meals on Wheels of Sheboygan County; Mental Health America Lakeshore; Safe Harbor; The Salvation Army; and Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice. Based on employee votes, MHA Lakeshore earned the largest allocation of more than $105,000. The other five organizations each received allocations ranging between nearly $58,000 and over $100,000.

Each Acuity employee was also invited to choose a qualifying charity to receive a $100 donation, resulting in nearly $190,000 in additional contributions. With these year-end contributions, Acuity’s philanthropy for 2025 will total approximately $1.6 million. Since 1999, the company has donated nearly $28 million to charitable organizations.

“Our mission is to bring hope, connection, and healing—empowering students, supporting individuals in tough moments, and guiding families through crisis,” said Julie Preder, Executive Director of Mental Health America Lakeshore. “Acuity’s support funds critical school-based programs, expands access to mental health care, and ensures no one has to navigate crisis alone.”

The funding from Acuity will help MHA Lakeshore scale its K–12 Resilient Schools program that serves 3,000 elementary students, launch a Spanish-language curriculum to better serve English-learner families in its area, and roll out a new middle-school initiative called “Roots and Wings” in partnership with local school systems and youth mentoring organizations. The donation will also support expanded community access services, suicide-prevention training, and outreach for individuals facing isolation or mental health crisis.

Acuity’s 2025 charitable donations reinforce the company’s longstanding commitment to giving back and continue a year-end tradition of employees determining special contributions to community organizations.
