Who we are

NECA Foundation was established on the 1st of January, 1992, with a vision of developing the electrotechnology industry's outstanding young tradespeople into successful business professionals and future industry leaders.

In August 2016, the Foundation became a company limited by guarantee (as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NECA National).

August 2016 also saw the Foundation registered as a charity with the ACNC, and, as of 2025, we have charity and not-for-profit status with both the ACNC and ATO. This means that all donations receive Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, and are tax deductible.

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of experienced industry professionals.
