Missouri Western State University has been awarded a micro-grant of $3,000 to purchase and install two electric vehicle charging stations on the university’s campus.
The grant is part of the KCP&L Energizing Our Environment Micro-Grant Program, designed to help fund environmental projects in communities throughout KCP&L’s service region. The grants range from $500 to $3,000 and will provide nonprofit organizations an opportunity to improve the environment in their communities in a meaningful way.
“Our micro-grant program will impact thousands of lives and help improve our region,” said Elizabeth Danforth, KCP&L Director Public Affairs. “We are excited to partner with these organizations on their projects because we share a commitment to improving the environment.”
KCP&L received almost 150 applications for projects ranging from river cleanups to recycling programs to solar panel installations. Of those applications, KCP&L awarded almost 20 grants to nonprofits throughout the region.
