CHARITABLE DONATIONS
Central Region Cooperative supports programs in our geographic footprint that enrich our communities and impact the lives of those within them. We take pride in continuing to support the local communities that our customers and employees live and work in every day. We place a high importance on helping develop programs that promote agriculture organizations and education initiatives for our youth because many parents of those youth typically are customers of CRC. In addition, students gaining education and leadership skills by these organizations or initiatives often contribute to agriculture and/or to our communities in some capacity as they choose a career path.
In addition, Central Region Cooperative’s Donation Program intends to support county 4-H programs, FFA Chapters, fire departments, and food shelves or hunger initiatives. The Central Region Cooperative Board of Directors may approve donation requests other than those listed upon their discretion.
The following organizations although recognizable are not eligible for Central Region Cooperative charitable donations:
- Fraternal, religious, social or labor organizations, school districts, and political groups
- Individual benefits or individuals directly to participate in an activity or function
Donation requests are subject to Board approval. Please allow for 60 days for donation approval.
