The New Jersey Propane Education & Research Foundation was formed in 1997 as part of the national Propane Education & Research Council. The mission of NJPERF is to provide marketing and educational assistance to retail propane marketers in the state of New Jersey.

The Foundation is funded through the member retailers, who give five-tenths of each penny of each gallon sold. The Foundation awards member retailers grants throughout the year to conduct marketing and safety training and more.

New Jersey retailers contribute annually to the national PERC, of which 20 percent was awarded to the NJPERF in grants throughout the year. Some of that funding went to the development of this web site. Check back often to see what exciting new things the NJPERF is doing to benefit the member retailers and consumers in New Jersey.
