Mission & Focus Areas

CFC’s stated mission is “to bridge the financial needs of the rural electric network with the expectations of the global capital markets, one cooperative at a time.” Its lending program provides loans to member rural electric cooperatives and related organizations, using funds raised in capital markets or private third-party transactions.

Its filing describes an Education Fund for statewide and eligible regional associations. Applicants submit forms describing the proposed program; annual allocations are calculated using factors that include association and cooperative membership. The filing also describes an Integrity Fund, a voluntary fund that assists cooperatives in defending their territories and protecting cooperative principles. A rural electric system must show at least one specified threat to its territory, right to offer non-electric energy services, or cooperative business model to be considered.

Grantees include electric cooperative associations. For example, Missouri Electric Cooperatives describes its mission as coordinating services provided by its 47 member systems to support continued affordable, reliable electricity. Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association says it provides legal, legislative and regulatory representation, job training and safety education, and communications services for member cooperatives.
