In this innovative program, your electric bill is rounded up to the nearest dollar each month. The "small change" (an average of 50 cents per month, or an average of $6 per year) is then earmarked for community betterment groups and other local organizations.

Looking for funding? Penny Power grants are awarded quarterly. Deadlines are the first Mondays in January, April, July and October. To request an application, call (800) 232-4797 or email us at ldotson@adams.net. Please provide a very brief description of your project (such as "needing funding for safety training equipment for the fire department") along with your name, organization, address and phone number. Let us know if you'd prefer a hard copy of the application or a Microsoft Word version by email.

We are grateful to our membership for approving the program at our 2004 Annual Meeting and appreciate your support. Every member is automatically in the program. However, members may "Opt Out" at any time. If you are NOT interested in participating in the program, please contact Adams Electric Cooperative by phone at (800) 232-4797. The Adams Outlet (our monthly member newsletter) will continue to keep you updated on the distribution of Penny Power Funds.
