The Athens Public Education Foundation is a non-profit corporation that supports educational opportunities for students in the Athens Independent School District. The goal is to involve the community in building a strong public school system that delivers quality education to the leaders and workers of tomorrow.
The TVEC Charitable Foundation is funded by donations from Operation Round Up. Operation Round Up is a voluntary program that allows TVEC members to round up their monthly electric bills to the next whole dollar amount. The portion that is rounded up goes to the TVEC Charitable Foundation and may be used to award grant requests to local charitable organizations.
