Randolph EMC partners with CoBank, a cooperative lender, to fund the Community Grants initiative. Through its Sharing Success program, CoBank awarded $10,000 to People Helping People earlier this year. Randolph EMC then matched this donation to fund its Community Grants program. The PHP Board of Directors oversees the grant-awarding process. Since 2015, Randolph EMC’s PHP program has invested $166,000 in Community Grants.
