PEAR Program
Members Invited to Round Up
An exciting new program called the Pioneer Electric Area Roundup
(PEAR) has been launched to benefit people in southwest Kansas through
the use of spare change. PEAR is a non-profit initiative that
encourages Pioneer Electric members to respond to community needs by
rounding up their electric bill to the nearest dollar. The extra
change goes into the PEAR fund and is distributed to organizations and
individuals in support of worthy causes. As an example of how PEAR
works, if your bill is $93.42 cents, then it is rounded up to $94.00.
You can make a difference!
PEAR is a fine opportunity for Pioneer Electric’s members to make a
tax deductible contribution. On average, each participating member’s
donation to the PEAR program will amount to about $6.00 a year.
Applying for funds
To receive funds as part of the PEAR program, organizations and
individuals must apply for them. A PEAR board, comprised of five
southwest Kansas residents, reviews each application, and funds are
distributed according to the financial need identified in the
application.
If you have questions regarding the PEAR program, please contact Judy Parsons, PEAR Coordinator.
