As a cooperative one of our core values is Commitment to Community. One of the ways we show this commitment is by financially supporting local community projects. In addition we nominate those projects for CoBank's Sharing Success Program.
Donations and nominations are chosen by our Board of Directors. Eligible organizations are 501(c)(3) charities whose purpose is consistent with the Sharing Success program guidelines.
To be considered for a Sharing Success donation and nomination, you will need to fill out our online application form. Please have a copy of your IRS tax exemption letter showing your 501(c)(3) status as well as any other attachments you might wish to include that will aid your project description.
Applications are closed for 2025.
