Supporting Organizations

The mission of Heating the Midwest is supported by many organizations and individuals, and new supporters continue to join us. Listed below are some of the organizations that have contributed to Heating the Midwest – some have provided financial support by sponsoring the annual conference, making a donation, or hosting a tour. Others have volunteered their time and talents to Heating the Midwest efforts such as exhaust time and energy trying to find HR software to manage our volunteers, and many more have endorsed the Vision.
