Nolin RECC is accepting applications for grants through their Operation Round-Up program.
“Operation Round-Up is a voluntary program,” said Nolin RECC Communications Manager Sarah Fellows. “Nolin RECC members can choose to round up their bill each month to the nearest dollar. All those nickels and dimes and quarters, really, for an average Nolin member only adds up to about $6 a year, but it makes such a big difference because thousands of Nolin members are choosing to do that.”
The co-op says the average yearly donation for an individual member is about $6, but those donations have provided for more than $415,000 in grants since 2006. Local organizations that have benefited include Project L.E.A.R.N, Wesley Hilltop House, and Knob Creek Conservancy.
Grant applications are accepted and reviewed by the operation round-up board of directors which is made up of local residents. The application can be found at www.nolinrecc.com or can be picked up at the co-op’s office locations.
The deadline to apply is May 1. Contact Nolin RECC at 270-765-6153 for more information.
