There are 3 Ways to Support IECRM for End-of-Year Giving

IEC Rocky Mountain

1. Sign up to Sponsor IECRM Events

Why are sponsorships important to IECRM?

As a non-profit association, IECRM faces the challenge of bringing in additional revenue to keep member dues reasonable. Sponsorship is a powerful tool that is utilized to do just that. Through the generous support of our sponsors, we are able to grow our impact and continue to provide value to our members. 

Events that our members generously underwrite through sponsorships and ticket sales are designed to create fun networking gatherings while building community awareness and visibility and helping market career opportunities in electrical contracting. 

Sponsoring IECRM offers numerous benefits to companies and organizations, including:

• Increased visibility within the electrical industry

• Access to an extensive network of local, regional, and national professionals

• The ability to showcase products, services, and expertise to a target audience

• Exposure to potential customers

• Showcase corporate social responsibility

• Recognition in IECRM newsletters, email blasts, website, and other communications

• Access to IECRM apprenticeship programs and workforce development initiatives

• Opportunity to develop relationships with current and future electrical contractors

By sponsoring IECRM, you can increase your reach and make an impact on our mission. Your contribution allows us to continue offering valuable resources, events, and services to our members. We are thankful for the sponsors who have helped us reach our goals, and we look forward to partnering with you and new organizations in the future!

Please consider signing up for an annual sponsor commitment for 2024. Contact Brett Reyes at [email protected] for more information.

2. Donate to IECRM and get a 25% tax credit!

Did you know the State of Colorado allows you to take a 25% tax credit on your state income taxes when you donate to IECRM because of its designation as an Enterprise Zone?

The Enterprise Zone Program encourages job creation and capital investment in economically depressed areas by providing tax credits to businesses and projects promoting and encouraging economic development activities. Please see the example below to see how a donation to IECRM can benefit you from a tax standpoint.

Example based on a deduction of a $1,000 donation: If you were in the 28% tax bracket for federal income tax purposes, this donation would decrease your federal tax liability by $280 plus a reduction of Colorado tax liability in the amount of $46. The contribution would also qualify for the 25% Enterprise Zone Credit. In this example, this credit would be $250 and available to offset the Colorado income tax liability. The total federal and state tax savings generated by your $1,000 donation would be $576.

Send a check payable to IECRM 11429 Pearl Street, Northglenn, CO 802333, with “Enterprise Zone Donation” noted on the check. Or contact Kori Hemans, IECRM CFO, with any questions [email protected] or 303-853-4886.

3. Support IECRM’s Legislative Advocacy for the Electrical Construction Industry by Donating to the PAC Fund

The IECRM PAC Fund, established by the association, raises collective funds to back legislative candidates and effectively advocate for the Independent Electrical Contractor and the construction industry. With the legislative session starting in January, donations are needed now more than ever.  

The IECRM Government Relations Committee actively tracks federal, state, and local legislative matters affecting our industry, including Workforce Development, Labor & Employment, and Economic & Infrastructure Development. The committee proactively builds relationships and educates key decision-makers about our industry. Presenting a united front for the sector requires funding and resources.

Please consider making an individual contribution of up to $625 directly to the IECRM PAC Fund today. Your PAC donation will help support state legislative candidates championing our industry’s key issues.

To explore membership in the IECRM Government Relations Committee, visit IECRM Committees at https://iecrm.org/about-iecrm/committees/. Let’s work together to advocate for our industry and its future.

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
