A total of $1.3 million in community operating grants — which start at $2,500 each — are available to entrants with community operations in Gannett's markets. In Wisconsin, that's communities served by these Gannett-owned publications: the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Green Bay Press-Gazette; Appleton Post-Crescent; Oshkosh Northwestern; Fond du Lac Reporter; Sheboygan Press; Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter; Wausau Daily Herald; Stevens Point Journal; Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune; and Marshfield News-Herald.

Mosinee Athletic Complex, Field 2 project: The MCAA is currently building a softball/multi-use field that will used by youth girls softball, high school softball and youth baseball. This field is being built as we currently have a huge shortage of athletic fields in the Mosinee area. 18 teams share one field in our community. We are building a second field to give the girls an opportunity to play and practice more. The field will also be available for youth baseball to use.
Please consider donating towards this project, $1, $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100.
