Mountain Association for Community Economic Development
Organization Info
NEC Member
The Mountain Association for Community Economic Development works with people in Kentucky and Central Appalachia to create economic opportunity, strengthen democracy, and support the sustainable use of natural resources.
At the NEC’s Annual Meeting, representatives from a half-dozen formed a Rural Electric Co-op Working Group to support one another and the broader movement in developing strategies to help communities transform their rural electric co-ops into pillars of the New Economy. This month, we were thrilled to hear that the working group has received a $25,000 grant from Solidaire as part of their Movement R&D Fund.
The Mountain Association for Community Economic Development (MACED) is a member of NEC because we believe in building a more just and sustainable economy. It’s what we’ve been doing in eastern Kentucky for 40 years.
