Lane-Scott Electric Donation Guidelines
Lane-Scott Electric is a proud supporter of the communities, organizations and members in our 8 county territory. Please understand due to the volume of requests, our donations are budgeted annually. It is our practice that donations are reserved for causes that support community organizations / schools / events as a whole; groups who have an electricity/energy purpose or educational endeavor, or a cause that benefits a large group of Lane-Scott Electric members.
Unfortunately, we are unable to donate financially to individual sports teams or individuals at any level of competition with the exception of energy/electricity focused teams.
The deadline to submit a donation request is October 1 for the following January - December calendar year.
To make a request, contact Ann Marie Jennings at 620-397-5327.
School Support
Lane-Scott Electric takes an active role in supporting our youth. We have supported the Dighton Electrathon team since it's inception at Dighton High School in the early 2000's and sponsored the Dighton Kid Wind Challenge teams. The Kansas Electrathon Program is a state wide program that introduces kids to electric and solar powered vehicles and engineering. Kansas teams design, build and race electric vehicles and compete against other teams across the state at meets. Most teams build their cars from the ground up with only a few rules and guidelines. Competition is based on time and distance with the race being won by the team that completes the most laps in one hour. Strategy is as important as speed!
The KidWind Challenge is an annual event that allows students to explore the power of wind by building and testing their own wind turbines then competing against other teams in their age division. The top two winners in each age division at the regional challenges compete at the statewide event.
Lane-Scott Electric would be proud to support all schools in our service territory who wish to venture into these or other programs that encourage education of electricity or energy creation.
Food Drive
Lane-Scott began hosting an Annual Food Drive in 2019 to support the food banks in Lane and Ness Counties. Lane-Scott partners with local elementary schools who wish to participate in a Classroom Challenge. The class at each school who collects the most items will win $100 for their classroom and a year-end party complements of Lane-Scott.
In total, participating schools have collected over 19,000 items over the course of the event! That's making a difference!
Safety Demonstrations
Safety is one of the core values at Lane-Scott Electric. This includes educating our employees, members and the public about electricity. One of the tools we use for electrical education is a High-Voltage Overhead Line Demonstration.
Lane-Scott Electric's demonstrations are available to schools, businesses, trainings, or safety days of any kind. The demonstration trailer is set on an open trailer equipped with poles, wires, transformers, meters and other items to replicate distribution lines.
