Arvig’s School Partnership Program Hits $1 Million Milestone

Jan 11, 2022 | 11:21 AM

PERHAM (KDLM) – Arvig’s School Partnership Program has now surpassed the $1 million mark since its creation in 2010 to help buy new technology and supplies for classrooms in Minnesota.

The School Partnership Program gives customers the option to donate $1 from their internet payment each month—at no extra cost to them—to a school of their choice in the Arvig service area. Arvig created the program to offset the cost of technology and general supplies for area schools.

A total of $1,161,587 has been donated since 2010—including $135,807 in 2021 and $132,333 in 2020.

“It’s uplifting to see such tremendous support for this program,” said David Arvig, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Arvig. “The fact that more than $1 million has been donated to date speaks volumes about how much our customers care about their local schools.”

More than 11,600 Arvig internet customers are currently enrolled in the program.
