TRIBUNE – Wheatland Electric Cooperative, Inc. announced today that its Sharing Success Fund, managed by the Scott Community Foundation, has awarded a $1,000 grant to the Greeley County Library.
The funds will be used to purchase graphic novels and books in Spanish to spark more interest in reading in the community, explains Ronna Schmidt, library director. “We have a large following in the junior section of our library that love graphic novels. We also need to expand our Spanish selection for our growing population of Spanish readers,” says Schmidt.
The Scott Community Foundation began formally accepting applications for grants from the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund from non-profit organizations on December 1, 2012. Wheatland Electric and CoBank have each contributed $10,000 this year to the fund. The program will continue to run until the funds are exhausted.
Non-profit groups interested in receiving funding from the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund can apply online. Questions should be referred to Alli Conine, Manager of Member Services & Corporate Communications, at 620-874-4563 or aconine@weci.net.
