As of Monday, the Pedernales Electric Cooperative began accepting applications for community grants. The Cooperative encourages nonprofits across PEC’s service area to apply for grants up to $5,000 through Oct. 18. The grants help nonprofits fund projects that help improve communities. Nonprofits that receive these funds can use them to support projects related to technology, capital improvements and energy efficiency.
“Our much-anticipated grants have reopened and we’re looking forward to awarding funds that will help our community flourish for years to come,” said Celeste Mikeska, PEC community relations manager. “Thank you to our members who are already enrolled in Power of Change for rounding up and giving back. For those who haven’t joined, we encourage you to consider this small way to give back because by working together as a Cooperative, we can show our strength and make a significant impact right here at home.”
The grants are made possible by PEC members enrolled in the Cooperative’s Power of Change Program. By joining, members choose to have their bills rounded up to the nearest dollar each month for charity or they can make a one time contribution.
