Community Involvement

Community Monetary Donation Guidelines

Overview

We are proud to help support the communities that we serve. Each year we determine our donations budget on the number of services purchased in each town. The more WesTel Systems services sold in that area, the bigger the Donations Budget.
WesTel Systems reserves the right to change or alter the donation guidelines at any time without prior notification.

 

Eligibility Checklist

Funds must benefit the WesTel Systems service area.
Potential grantees should be nonprofit organizations, a recognized government entity, a K-12 public or private school, a church or faith based organization with a project that benefits the community at large.
The organization must be our customer if they have a facility that can have our services such as a community center, legion, daycare.

 

Funding Exclusions

Funds cannot benefit one person or family, nationally-sponsored organizations, political causes, or be tickets for a contest or raffle.
Capital campaigns must be submitted to the CEO.
Each organization can only receive two monetary grants per calendar year.
