At BPU, community isn’t just where we work—it’s who we are. As a not-for-profit utility, we go beyond providing reliable services by investing
in programs that uplift families, empower youth, and strengthen Wyandotte County.
Supporting Those in Need
Life happens, and we’re here to help. In 2024, BPU dedicated $625,000
to financial assistance programs, supporting up to 1,500 local
households. From flexible payment options to hardship assistance, we
provide resources to keep homes powered and water flowing.
Empowering Future Leaders
We’re shaping the next generation through hands-on learning and
career development:
- Summer Youth Program – Provides job training and real-world experience to hundreds of young people.
- 20/20 Leadership – Equips high school students with leadership and life skills.
- Touch-A-Truck Events – Inspires young learners by showcasing our utility vehicles and teaching where energy and water come from.
BPU Charity Golf Tournament
Since 1992, our Charity Golf Tournament has raised over $800,000 for
local children’s charities. In 2024 alone, it generated $65,000, proving
that a great day on the course can create lasting change.

Giving Back Together
BPU employees don’t just serve the community—we give back. The
BPU Employee Foundation leads volunteer efforts, from holiday toy
drives and Thanksgiving meal deliveries to Adopt-A-Family programs
for those in need.
