Nolin RECC is accepting applications for the next round of grants from its Operation Round Up program.
The co-op says the program is a non-profit run by a local board of directors that accepts and reviews applications to determine which programs and organizations receive funding. Local dollars in the past have gone to organizations such as Family Scholar House, Helping Hand of Hope, and Shepherd’s Pie Food Pantry.
Nolin RECC Communications Manager Sarah Fellows says co-op members that participate in the program volunteer to round up their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar.
“All those nickels and dimes and quarters for an average Nolin member only adds up to about $6 a year, but it makes such a big difference because thousands of Nolin members are choosing to do that, and since 2006 that money has turned around over $300,000 in grants to programs and organizations that are right here locally in our community,” Fellows said.
The application deadline is May 1. Applications may be picked up at the Nolin RECC office or can be found online at nolinrecc.com.
