All News

GREAT BEND–Wheatland Electric Cooperative, Inc. announced today that its Sharing Success Fund, managed by the Scott Community Foundation, has awarded a $1,000 grant to the United Way of Central Kansas (UWCK).

The grant funds will be used to purchase reading engagement kits for kindergarten students in Barton and Pawnee Counties, says Gaila Demel, UWCK Executive Director. The goal of the kits is to increase interest and engagement in reading. Demel explains how United Way of Central Kansas strives to increase school readiness utilizing affiliations with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and other literacy kits for children from infancy through elementary school.

The Scott Community Foundation began formally accepting applications for grants from the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund from non-profit organizations on December 1, 2012. Wheatland Electric and CoBank have each contributed $10,000 this year to the fund. The program will continue to run until the funds are exhausted.

Non-profit groups interested in receiving funding from the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund can apply online. Questions should be referred to Alli Conine, Manager of Member Services & Corporate Communications, at 620-874-4563 or aconine@weci.net.
