Beginning in February, Bandera Electric Cooperative members will have the chance to make a difference in their community by nominating a nonprofit in the BEC service territory. Nominations will be accepted February 1 through March 15.
The BEC Foundation board will select 3 of the nominated organizations based on its charitable giving guidelines and predetermined criteria. The 3 organizations will be announced in March, and members will be able to vote for the winning nonprofit organization via email. The winning organization will receive a grant up to $5,000.
“It is our goal that this contest will help expand our network of nonprofit organizations to improve the quality of life for our members and to better serve the community as a whole,” said Toba Wright, BEC Foundation chairman.
The BEC Foundation regularly supports nonprofit organizations through charitable contributions with a focus on health initiatives, education, and youth programs, social services projects, and community services projects.
