Philanthropy

Charitable giving is not a separate initiative at Husco. It is embedded in our culture and reflected in a long-standing commitment to community investment. In recognition of that commitment, Husco was ranked among the Top 3 corporate charitable contributors in Wisconsin by the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2026.

In 2025, Husco contributed $12.6 million to charitable causes around the world. Over the past decade, the company has donated more than $135 million to nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and community initiatives. Guided by the Ramirez Family’s belief that business success carries a responsibility to create positive social impact, Husco continues to invest in the places where our employees live, work, and serve.

Philanthropy at Husco

Investing in Education

Education is the primary focus of Husco’s philanthropic efforts, with more than 95% of our giving supporting K-12 education worldwide. We believe access to a high-quality education creates opportunities for individuals, strengthens communities, and prepares future generations to thrive.

One of the clearest examples of this commitment is St. Augustine Preparatory Academy, Husco’s largest philanthropic investment. The Ramirez Family, alongside Husco, co-founded the school’s South Campus in 2017 and continues to support the school as lead benefactors of its new North Campus, which opened in fall 2026. Together, the campuses are designed to expand access to high-quality educational opportunities for thousands of Milwaukee-area students.

Husco also supports colleges and universities, workforce development initiatives, and scholarships that help prepare students for future education, careers, and leadership.

Supporting Employee and Community Giving

Husco’s commitment to philanthropy extends beyond direct corporate contributions. We believe that creating meaningful impact requires empowering employees to support the causes that matter most to them.
Husco is a United Way Million Dollar Company

To encourage community involvement, Husco provides a 100% match for employee donations to approved charitable organizations, amplifying the impact of individual giving across our global workforce. The company also supports numerous scholarship programs that help students pursue educational opportunities, including scholarships for Milwaukee-area students and children of Husco employees.

Husco has also been a long-standing supporter of the United Way, partnering with employees to strengthen communities through both financial contributions and volunteer service. Through employee giving, corporate matching, and additional company support, Husco has repeatedly achieved million-dollar donor status, helping fund programs that address education, financial stability, health, and other critical community needs.
These programs reflect a broader philosophy that philanthropy is most effective when employees, families, and the company work together to create opportunities and strengthen the communities where we live and work.

Giving Time and Talent

Financial support is only one part of Husco’s commitment to the community. Our employees actively dedicate their time and talents to causes that matter.

In 2025, Husco employees volunteered more than 5,600 hours in support of charitable organizations and community programs worldwide. From environmental stewardship and food assistance programs to educational outreach and nonprofit leadership, our employees demonstrate that meaningful impact extends far beyond the dollars donated.

Leading Through Service

Community leadership is also an expectation of Husco’s executive team. Husco leaders serve on numerous nonprofit and civic boards, contributing their experience to organizations addressing critical needs in education, health, workforce development, and community well-being.

By investing financial resources, sharing expertise, and taking active leadership roles, Husco seeks to create sustainable, long-term change.

A Lasting Commitment

Husco’s commitment to philanthropy has earned recognition throughout the years, including multiple honors as one of Wisconsin’s leading corporate charitable donors. More importantly, it reflects a belief that has guided our organization for decades: strong communities enable individuals, businesses, and future generations to thrive.

As we look ahead, Husco remains committed to investing in people, education, and community development around the world. Through financial support, volunteer service, and leadership involvement, we will continue working to create opportunities and strengthen the communities we serve.
