REC invites nonprofits to apply for funding from The Power of Change. The deadline to apply for the latest round of funding is Aug. 10, 2024.

Twice a year, The Power of Change supports organizations in REC’s service area who need funding for their initiatives.

Through The Power of Change, REC members give voluntarily to support nonprofits that support those in need. In 2023, The Power of Change awarded more than $240,000 to 53 nonprofits in 22 Virginia counties, making a significant impact in local communities.

The Power of Change grants are awarded to 501(c)3 organizations serving members within the REC service territory. If your nonprofit organization needs funding to support an initiative, please consider applying. If you know a nonprofit in need of funds to achieve its mission, please share this opportunity.

The deadline to apply for funds is 5 p.m. on Aug. 10, 2024.
