Concern for community is one of the seven cooperative principles that Basin Electric and its members follow. One way the cooperative is able to give back is through its matching donation program.
Basin Electric recently partnered with Class C member Powder River Energy Corporation (PRECorp), headquartered in Sundance, Wyoming, on two donations to support their surrounding community.
A non-profit located in Campbell County, the Edible Prairie Project works to get food that is grown and produced by local farmers and ranchers into the hands of the children and families that need it most. It’s their mission to cultivate a fair, resilient, and community food system that promotes thriving rural communities.
Basin Electric and the PRECorp Foundation joined together to donate $5,000 for Edible Prairie Project’s “Grown on the Prairie” fundraising event. Money raised during the event will help fund the organization’s many programs, including:
The library is a local chapter of the international Dolly Parton Imagination Library program. A non-profit, the program helps children succeed and communities prosper by providing free age-appropriate books to every child, ages birth through five years old, who are registered in the program. This is only the second Imagination Library in the state of Wyoming, with the other one in Sheridan County.
Together, Basin Electric and the PRECorp Foundation donated $5,000 to help fund the launching of the new library. So far, the chapter has secured funding for the first year, and this donation will help provide funding for the following year.
