Wisconsin DMV offers new options for license plates

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), they are adding two new special license plates. Proceeds from these plates will go to different charities for suicide prevention, and pet adoption/spay and neuter support.

The proceeds for the suicide prevention plate will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. This non-profit organization develops prevention programs, educates the public, raises funds for research and programs, and works with people who have lost someone to suicide.

The proceeds for the spay, neuter, adopt plate with go to The Fix Is In, Inc non-profit organization. They provide financial and logistical support for the spay/neuter of cats and dogs in Wisconsin.

The cost of these plates include:

  • $25 contribution to organization. The donation may be tax deductible.
  • A one-time $15 issuance fee.
  • Plates may be personalized for an additional $15 fee each year.
  • The regular vehicle registration fee (which may include wheel tax, if applicable).
