Educational Grant Funding for Non-Profit Organizations
The mission of the LPEA Round Up Foundation Board is to advance and support causes within our service territory to improve the quality of life in our community. LPEA uses unclaimed Capital Credits to fund specific needs, special projects, and programs supporting education.
Educational Grant Deadlines
Grant applications are due on the first business day of the month and will be reviewed by the Round Up Foundation Board on the last Monday of each month. Approximately two weeks after the board meeting, grant funds are awarded via electronic funding.
Educational Grant Funding Criteria
- Be a non-profit organization in good standing with the IRS within LPEA's service territory
- Demonstrate a direct educational need or benefit
- Request $5,000 or less per non-profit organization
- Have not applied for an Educational Grant within the last 12 months
We Do Not Fund
- For-profit organizations
- Non-specific operating expenses (such as salary and overhead assistance)
- Solar projects
- LPEA utility bills
