The purpose of the Cooperative Family Fund is to provide support for children of electric cooperative employees when they experience the loss of a parent while actively employed at a cooperative. This support actively demonstrates the value our cooperative network places on cooperative families at the time of their greatest need. Every individual or organization that makes a donation by December 2023 will be recognized as a founding donor of the Cooperative Family Fund. Visit cooperativefamilyfund.com.
