The Burrell Foundation works to create a better quality of life for community members living in York Electric Cooperative’s service territories: York, Chester, Cherokee and Lancaster Counties. Started in the memory of Mr. Dick Burrell, a former trustee for York Electric Cooperative, the goals of the foundation are to honor his legacy of fostering hope, generosity and blessings to all of those around him.
As a non-profit built under the umbrella of the 501 c12 organization, York Electric Cooperative, a not-for-profit electric utility part of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), the foundation is designed to help further the mission of the cooperative and one of the seven cooperative principles, concern for community. York Electric Cooperative serves over 68,000 members and started The Burrell Foundation to raise money and help those in need in our area.
