Why It Matters
As a member‑owned cooperative, DRN ReadiTech believes strong communities are built through shared responsibility and local engagement. Rooted & Rising allows us to respond to real needs across our service areas—supporting everything from youth programs and schools to nonprofit organizations and community events.
When we invest locally, the impact stays local. Rooted & Rising program donated $8,320 to our communities in quarter one of 2026.
Looking Ahead
Rooted & Rising continues to grow each month as more organizations and community groups reach out with ideas that make a difference. We’re excited to see the continued momentum and look forward to supporting even more meaningful projects in the months ahead.
If your organization is making a positive impact in our communities, we invite you to apply through our Rooted & Rising Community Care Program.
Thank you to the organizations, volunteers, educators, and community leaders who are making a difference every day. We’re proud to support communities that are rooted in what matters and rising toward what’s next.
