The Midwest Electric Community Connection Fund is a voluntary charitable program.

A Board of Trustees, composed of cooperative members and separate from the Midwest Electric Board of Trustees, oversees the application and allocation process.
The following Midwest Electric members were selected for the Community Connection Fund board: Sharon Solano, Auglaize County; Karen Heinrichs, Mercer County; and Jim Link, Allen/Putnam County.
