Community Connection Fund

Each month, participating customers' electric bills are rounded up to the next highest dollar, and the extra pennies are deposited in the Midwest Electric Community Connection Fund. A Fund Board of Trustees reviews grant applications from charitable groups and worthy individuals throughout west central Ohio.
