Capacity Building
Cooperative Investment/Sponsorships
KCP&L believes that in economic development, the community is a product in a competitive marketplace. While some community characteristics - such as geographic location - are fixed, other aspects of the community can be improved over the long- or short-term. The Cooperative Investment program is a partnership involving our dollars and assistance in conjunction with local dollars, local economic development expertise and a specific project designed to prepare or improve the community for economic development.
Cooperative Investments provide assistance to projects that improve the community "product". The funds may not be used to pay salaries of regular employees, administrative costs, infrastructure costs not directly related to a job-creation project, non-infrastructure capital construction or other non-marketing costs. Subcontracts with consultants or other economic development service providers are allowed.
As our commitment to your economic development organization's goals and strategies, we will consider the opportunity to sponsor your events and activities that promote economic development at local, regional and national level events.
