The Cornhusker Power Goodwill Fund is the money that is collected from nearly 60% of Cornhusker Power customers who voluntarily agree to have their electric bill rounded up to the next highest dollar.
The Fund is administered by an independent Board of Trustees who represent Cornhusker Public Power District customers. The Trustees evaluate all requests for funds and decide how they will be distributed. The thousands of dollars are used to address community needs such as life saving equipment, playground improvements, library equipment, computer software for schools, but they are not limited to these categories.
Funding from Cornhusker Power Goodwill Fund is available to organizations within the counties served by Cornhusker Power—Platte, Boone, Nance, Colfax, Greeley and Wheeler. The recipient does not have to be a customer of Cornhusker Power. Organizations may apply once a year. Funds shall not be used for religious or political purposes.
The Trustees meet quarterly. Applications must be submitted one week before the Trustee meeting. Please call (402) 564-2821 or 1-800-955-2773 for the next meeting date.
