The grant for $2,000 will be used for the purchase of classroom materials for the fourth and fifth grades.Grants disbursed by the CRE Foundation come from gifts, endowments and CREC’s Operation Round Up® donations. 

The Operation Round Up program gathers voluntary contributions from participating cooperative members by “rounding up” their monthly electric bills to the next dollar.  

The CRE Foundation is administered by an independent nine-member board of directors.  To be most effective, the foundation focuses its efforts in four specific areas of interest: disaster relief, personal need, health care and education.  For more information about the CRE Foundation, visit http://www.crecfoundation.org.
