The cooperative supports area community organizations and programs.

Jackson EMC is financially committed to supporting organizations within its 10-county service territory.

Each year, the company evaluates community needs and makes contributions ranging from $500 to $5,000 to support programs that are making a difference in the lives of Jackson EMC members.

Each district office makes donations within the counties that are served by that district. The programs that receive funds are educational, safety and youth-related programs and each district handles those based on needs within the counties they support.

Through the Corporate Contributions program, contributions are made to agencies and organizations such as Boys Scouts of America, Girls Scouts of NE Georgia, Habitat for Humanity, Northeast Georgia Safety Day Camp, Georgia FFA Foundation, Electric Vehicle Program and Newspapers in Education Program, to name a few.
