The North Central Electric People Fund was established in January 1999. Since then, more than 561 grants totaling more than $1,070,000 have been issued throughout the cooperative's service area.
The cooperative's board of trustees appoints members to serve on the People Fund board. These members are selected throughout the North Central Electric service territory. The People Fund board reviews submitted applications and approves them based on need and available funds. Political issues or campaigns are not eligible for grants from the People Fund.
The North Central Electric People Fund Board members are appointed for three-year terms. Their terms coincide with the three-year terms of the cooperative's board of trustees.
Nearly 85 percent of North Central's eligible residential members currently participate in the People Fund program. Opting in or out of the program at any time is simple and easy to do. Just contact the cooperative or enclose a note with your monthly electric bill.
