Founded in 2004, the CoServ Charitable Foundation was created as a direct result of two
parallel driving forces – the establishment of Operation RoundUp®, a cooperative initiative
to improve the quality of life for residents within our communities, and by a desire amongst
CoServ’s employees to be more directly involved in how CoServ gives back to the community.
While CoServ Electric and CoServ Gas make financial contributions to the Foundation, the
majority of our funding comes from you, our members and customers, and from employee payroll
donations, fundraisers and raffles.
The CoServ Charitable Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization. Our Board of Governors has been appointed by CoServ Electric. Board members and CoServ employees provide their time and resources free of charge. We are focused on providing donations, resources and manpower where we can do the most good for the community. Currently these initiatives are divided into 5 key categories:
