The application period for 2023 is open! The deadline to apply is April 3, 2023. 

 

The CoBank Sharing Success Grant Program is designed to help its customers, such as Lane-Scott Electric, provide grants to charitable organizations and causes in our local communities. CoBank is a national nonprofit cooperative bank owned by the rural American cooperatives it serves. Since the Sharing Success Program was established in 2012, CoBank and its customers have together contributed more than $50 million to groups such as volunteer fire departments, local schools, and hunger relief programs to name a few.

During the application period, 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, and other non 501(c)(3)'s such as schools, government organizations such as counties, municipalities, and their agencies or departments are encouraged to apply. Use of the grants must be to benefit a community or communities who receive electric service from Lane-Scott or who's purpose benefits members of Lane-Scott.

  • Organizations are allowed only one application per year.

  • After the grant is awarded, the funding must be used within 12 months of its award.

  • The project must serve a public purpose.

Examples of awarded grant uses from other CoBank customers include - building upgrades and repairs, upgraded technology, aid towards programs that offer a service to the community, food banks, fire department equipment, local school hunger relief programs, museum exhibits, public library programs, child development programs, ministry programs, cemetery marker restoration, health center equipment, recreation commission projects, and the list goes on!
