Feb 9, 2010 - NHEC Foundation Awards $220,000 in 2009

PLYMOUTH, NH – In a year that saw it surpass the $1 million mark in charitable giving since its inception, the New Hampshire Electric Co-op (NHEC) Foundation awarded more than $220,000 to 39 non-profit groups in 2009.

Founded in 2005, the NHEC Foundation is funded by over 39,000 Co-op members who agree to have their monthly electric bills rounded up to the next dollar with the proceeds benefitting the Foundation.

Grants were made to non-profits across New Hampshire, reflecting NHEC’s broad service territory. Grants were broken out as follows: Community/Economic Development - $23,000; Cultural/Arts - $6,400; Educational - $70,685; Health & Social Service- $116,101; Historic/Preservation - $4,500.

Recipients of some of the largest awards included the New Hampshire Food Bank ($16,888), Society for Protection of NH Forests ($10,000), Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region ($10,000), Whole Village Child Care Center of Plymouth ($7,500), American Red Cross ($5,000 for services provided during 2008 Ice Storm), Pemi Baker Home Health & Hospice ($5,000), New Durham Food Pantry ($5,000 to support building improvements). A complete list of 2009 awards, as well as more information about the NHEC Foundation, is available here.

The NHEC Foundation is the primary source of funding for Project Care, which works in conjunction with social service agencies to assist Co-op members in crisis situations pay their electric bills and avoid disconnection of service. The Foundation also funds the NHEC Chapter of Dollars for Scholars, which last year awarded six $1,500 scholarships to college or college-bound Co-op members.
