Application Information

Do you have a need in the community? If so, please see our qualifying information and let us know how we can help.

Who qualifies?

Striving to actively support various qualifying organizations within the geographic areas that our cooperative serves, San Miguel can make up to a $1,000 charitable donation to a qualifying organization that is located in and provides service within the region we serve on an annual basis.

To qualify for a charitable donation from our cooperative an organization must meet the below qualifications:

  • Be located in, and provide services within, Atascosa and McMullen Counties.

  • Be able to provide a copy of their 501(c) tax certificate and tax identification number.

San Miguel is unable to provide charitable support to an organization for any of the following reasons:

  • Charitable requests from religious organizations. However, community programs that are sponsored by religious organizations will be considered.
  • Requests from or for school-based programs.
