To apply for grants, send a double-spaced typewritten request (not to exceed 3 pages) that includes the following:

  1. A description of the project and what it will accomplish
  2. The estimated cost of the project
  3. An explanation of why outside funds are necessary to complete the project
  4. Whether funding options have been pursued, and if so, how
  5. When project will be completed
  6. The number of people affected by the project
  7. If the project’s goals are measurable, and how

Although electric-oriented projects aren’t required, extra consideration will be given to projects that are electric oriented. Photos and supporting data are optional. Grant applications must be received by your local Touchstone Energy electric cooperative by November 9, 2007.
