Building Stronger Communities

Apply for A Grant by September 30

April 2025

At BEK Communications Cooperative, community isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life. That’s why we created the Community Partnership Program (CPP), a grant initiative designed to support local projects, people, and organizations that make a difference in our service area.


Whether it's funding for a school program, a community event, or new equipment for a volunteer group, the CPP is BEK’s way of giving back and investing in the future of rural North Dakota. The program was launched by the BEK Board of Directors as a structured and purposeful way to meet the real needs of the communities we call home.


Grants are awarded twice each year: once in the spring and again in the fall. The next round of applications is due by September 30. Interested in applying? Visit www.bek.coop/coop/cpp to learn more about the guidelines and to submit your application.


Let’s work together to keep our communities strong, connected, and thriving!
