Giving Program

Scopus Solar is committed to Bollinger and Cape Girardeau Counties for the long term, and our Community Giving Program is one way that commitment shows up in practice. Grants provide ongoing funding for programs and services that benefit local residents and address community needs.

Success Stories from Completed Projects

“The economic growth spurred by Hornet Solar is making a real difference in Swisher County. These funds directly support the businesses and services our community relies on every day, and we look forward to the benefits that will continue to come from this long-term partnership.”

– Larry Buske , Swisher County Commissioner

“This support improves how we respond to emergencies across the county. New equipment, including a trailer that allows us to reach remote and hard-to-access areas, enhances our response times and firefighting capabilities.”

– Chief Jeremy Earl , Tulia Fire Department
