Kentucky Rural Electric Disaster Fund

Following the devastating tornadoes in Kentucky on December 10 and 11, and due to multiple requests from across the state and country, Kentucky Electric Cooperatives, the statewide association, has organized the Kentucky Rural Electric Disaster Fund to assist members of the co-op family who face challenges after disasters, and for the aid of communities served by co-ops.

Though we are confident the IRS will ultimately determine this fund to be a valid 501(c)(3) non-profit, which will allow for tax deductibility of any contribution, this process can be time consuming. Until the final determination is made by the IRS, there is a risk of donations not being recognized as tax deductible.

As such, the Kentucky Rural Electric Disaster Fund will accept donations, and when determination is made, notify all donors.  

Checks should be made payable to: Kentucky Rural Electric Disaster Fund and can be mailed to the statewide office:
