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.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, CFC reported 43 grants totaling $1,121,281. Grants ranged from $5,500 to $154,659, with a median of $22,250. The largest listed grant was $154,659 to NRECA for its Educational Fund. Other notable grants included $71,372 to Alger-Delta Co-operative Electric Association for an Integrity Fund territory threat, $63,500 to Texas Electric Cooperatives for educational materials, and $37,750 to Missouri Electric Cooperatives for youth education and leadership-related expenses.

Other 2025 awards included $35,750 to Indiana Electric Cooperatives for educational resources and member education; $33,250 to Georgia Electric Membership Corporation for an exhibit; and $32,250 to the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives for educational content. CFC’s filing says statewide and eligible regional associations apply to the Education Fund by submitting an application describing the program.
