The North Central Electric People Fund was established in January 1999. Since then, more than 615 grants totaling more than $1.2 million have been issued throughout the cooperative's service area.
NCE People Fund
The cooperative's board of directors 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, as well as requests for assistance with utility bills, rent/mortgage payments, etc.
The North Central Electric People Fund Board members are appointed for three-year terms, which coincide with the terms of the cooperative's board of directors.
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. Just contact the cooperative or enclose a note with your monthly electric bill.
