Giving Program
Nazareth Solar is committed to Swisher County for the long term, and our Community Giving Program is one way that commitment shows up in practice. Grants go directly to schools, fire departments, youth programs, and nonprofits making a real difference in this community.
“The economic growth spurred by Hornet Solar is making a real difference in Swisher County. These funds directly support the businesses and services our community relies on every day, and we look forward to the benefits that will continue to come from this long-term partnership.”
– Larry Buske, Swisher County Commissioner.
How It Works
Funds are awarded on a quarterly basis, with application deadlines on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15. Applications that are not awarded may be resubmitted for consideration in the following quarter, and applicants may request funds as often as needed. Winners and award amounts will be selected at the discretion of Vesper Energy staff.
