The NECA Disaster Relief Fund was first put into place in 2005, following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. We are collecting donations to replenish the fund so support can be offered to those in the electrical contracting industry recently impacted and to help in future disasters.

The NECA Disaster Relief Fund, sponsored and administered by ELECTRI International, provides much needed financial assistance to our NECA members who truly require our care and support following a disaster that impacts them and their businesses.
