WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY

Youth Programs
We invest $18,500 in education each year through college scholarships for members' children and send high school students on an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. They join students from across the country and spend a week meeting with Congressional representatives and learning about electric co-ops. Applications for these programs are available at butlerrural.coop > Community > Youth Programs in November.
Giving Back
We donate $1,000 to local food pantries each year while members and employees gather food, personal care items, and clothes for those in need. Employees deliver Christmas gifts to residents and staff at Woodland Country Manor, a nursing facility that's a commercial member.
OUR MEMBERS DO, TOO!
Members and employees donate to local non-profit organizations through Butler Rural Community Connection to benefit fire departments, emergency management services, and schools in the counties we serve. Over $1.2 million has been given to these organizations to improve our community.
Butler County children with disabilities learn to walk.
Another grant was used to fund a local summer camp focused on STEM projects for elementary students.
