The Flint Energies Foundation recently granted the Middle Georgia State University (MGA) Foundation $5,000. The requested funds will go to the Jack Hunnicutt Scholarship.
“We will award four students with the Jack Hunnicutt Scholarship this year,” states Beth Byers, representative for the MGA Foundation. “We have a diverse student body, many with serious financial needs. This enables them to focus on their studies and ease financial burdens.”
The Flint Energies Foundation provides grants to local non-profits using funds donated by Flint Energies Consumer-members through Operation Round Up®. The electric cooperative’s members contribute $175,000 annually to the Flint Energies Foundation, which supports worthy causes in the 17 counties it serves. Operation Round Up is a way for participating members to support multiple charitable organizations by simply allowing Flint Energies to round up their bills to the nearest dollar.
