Mission
Managing Trust funds to realize the maximum benefit for Trust beneficiaries and safeguarding Trust Lands are the Board's primary duties.
The direct beneficiaries of the largest Trust Fund are the state’s K-12 public school libraries, which receive most of the Trust’s earnings. All Wisconsin citizens benefit from the agency’s responsible stewardship of Trust Lands and investments, which promote education, economic development, and the environment.
Since 1848, the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands has consisted of three elected state officers: the Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and Attorney General.
