The SSVEC Foundation is proud to support youth and education across our service area. In 2024, the Foundation awarded 46 grants to schools and educational programs that directly benefit students in the SSVEC service area.
The Foundation’s Funding comes from unclaimed patronage capital. As a not-for-profit cooperative, SSVEC returns any excess earnings (margins) to its members. When members move away and can’t be reached, these unclaimed margins are transferred to the SSVEC Foundation, which uses the funds to support educational initiatives and programs to benefit local youth.
Congratulations to all the recipients of our 2024 Educational Entity Grants!
