Charitable Foundation Overview

The Valley Electric Charitable Foundation is a special fund created to benefit communities in VEA’s service territory. The purpose of the Foundation is to collect and disburse funds for charitable purposes that will benefit a significant segment of the community.

Where do VEA Charitable Foundation funds come from?

The funds come from VEA employees and member-consumers who voluntarily participate in either in the Operation Round Up or Dime-a-Month programs or who donate a specific dollar amount each month. In the roundup method, members allow their monthly electric bills to be rounded to the next highest dollar. The Dime-a-Month program gives members the option of adding a flat ten cents to their monthly bill. This extra change is allocated to the VEA Charitable Foundation.
