Wheatland Electric Cooperative, Inc. is proud to announce that we are once again renewing our Sharing Success Fund, a grant-giving initiative, in partnership with CoBank and the Scott Community Foundation. 

As in years past, WEC and CoBank have each contributed $10,000 this year to the fund, meaning $20,000 in grant funds is available for deserving community organizations across our service territory thanks to our matching contribution. 

Our cooperative has awarded individual grants in the amount of $1,000 to many non-profit and community-oriented organizations across southwest and central Kansas for community-based projects. To date, a total of $145,000 has been awarded over the past decade. 

The Scott Community Foundation began formally accepting applications for grants from the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund from non-profit organizations on Dec. 1, 2012. In recent years, the application process has been handled internally at Wheatland Electric. The program will continue to run until the funds are exhausted.

“The Sharing Success program allows us to give back to the communities we serve,” CEO/General Manager Bruce W. Mueller said. “We’re excited to continue partnering with CoBank and the Scott Community Foundation.” 

Community organizations interested in receiving funding from our Sharing Success Fund can apply online.
