In considering whether or not to grant a request for educational donations or other contributions, the following factors shall be considered:

Special recognition or awards for educational achievement associated with the request.
-
The importance of granting the request to foster education organizations within La Plata Electric Association's service territory.
-

-
The likelihood of the applicant receiving funding from alternative sources other than La Plata Electric Association.
-
Up to five thousand dollars ($5,000) per group or organization.
-
Not withstanding the above, the board reserves the right to initiate or review larger projects that are more comprehensive in scope.
