ABOUT THE KASIETA CENTER

Upcoming Events

,The Kasieta Center (pronounced “ka-shet-a”) is a 4,800 square foot event space providing opportunities for job training and community gatherings. It was funded with public and private money, including a $2 million grant from Dane County. 

The Kasieta Center is intended primarily for use by BPNN for community service and events, workforce development partners, and other groups engaged in fighting poverty and ending hunger. When not in use for these purposes, the space may be available for occasional uses including business and non-profit meetings and events, and other private events.

​The center’s name was selected by BPNN’s board of directors in recognition of Robert (Bob) and Marcia Kasietas’ extensive contribution to growing and strengthening the organization.
