Employee Giving

JEA employees are proud to work and live in the communities we serve. We are committed to what we do because many employees are also JEA customers, and because we embody a strong culture of giving.

Employees at JEA also volunteer their time to a variety of community organizations.

Employee Fundraising

At JEA, we’re building community because its our community. This is just one of the reasons our employees raise funds for organizations such as United Way and Creating Healthier Communities. 

Organizations are welcome to support JEA employee fundraising campaigns through various sponsorship opportunities. To learn more about how you can support these fundraising events, contact campaign manager Von Fuller at fullvj@jea.com.

United Way Employee Campaign

Since 1924, United Way of Northeast Florida has been the leading organization serving the First Coast, improving the lives of one of every three Northeast Florida residents, by addressing today’s immediate and basic needs while also working toward implementing long-term solutions.

JEA began hosting United Way employee campaigns more than 20 years ago.  JEA employees have raised over $8 million through employee pledge contributions, donated vacation and safety leave time, as well as funds raised at special events coordinated by our employees.  For more information about United Way and their local agencies, please visit United Way of Northeast Florida.
