Contributions and Recognition

The volunteer leadership of ELECTRI International and its ELECTRI Council includes dedicated, respected electrical contractors, manufacturers, utilities, and NECA Chapters. Their combined commitment to ELECTRI International has attracted support from their peers and from the entire electrical construction industry.

Financial commitments to the Foundation are carefully invested both to ensure the steady growth of the Foundation's permanent endowment corpus and to generate sufficient annual income to be used exclusively to support appropriate programs through ELECTRI International's Centers for Excellence.

There are many ways individuals and industry partner corporations can become part of this endeavor. Investment commitments to any of ELECTRI International’s three Centers (Research, Education, International) may be pledged over a five-year period. Major endowment investors who commit at least $100,000 receive permanent, public recognition as a member of the Foundation’s ELECTRI Council as follows:

ELECTRI Council
$1,000,000President's Counsel

ELECTRI Council Associates
$50,000Counselor
$25,000Patron

Associate contributors have the opportunity, at the Chapter and regional level, to work with the Foundation in setting its research and education agenda. Program recommendations from Associates are taken into consideration by the ELECTRI Council.

Members of the ELECTRI Council receive periodic reports describing the Foundation's progress and endowment growth. They have opportunities to suggest additional programs and projects for the Foundation agenda and are invited to participate in the project Task Forces established to guide the Foundation's agenda. The ELECTRI Council is accorded national public acknowledgement at NECA's annual meeting and other special events. All members of the Council and the Associates are recognized in an annual publication of the Foundation.

ELECTRI International offers exclusively-named project funding for activities initiated through its Education Center. Investors in the Education Center are involved in the specific educational project for which the grant is made. Corporations, other organizations, and individuals who provide project grant support through the Education Center are also recognized publicly for their involvement with and support of the industry.

This ambitious and very successful initiative of ELECTRI International offers a unique opportunity for dedicated individuals and corporations to make investments now which will secure the industry's future expertise, growth, and development. Your participation in fostering the future of the electrical construction industry is needed and essential.
