OPERATION ROUNDUP
WHAT IS OPERATION ROUND UP?
As a member of Decatur County REMC you have a unique opportunity to make a difference in our local communities by participating in the Operation Round Up program.
Operation Round Up is a charitable fundraising program for Decatur County REMC members to have their electric bill rounded up to the next whole dollar. Operation Round Up helps co-op members reach out to worthy causes in their communities and work together to help others.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each month your bill is rounded up to the next whole dollar. These few extra cents are donated to the Operation Round Up fund. Your donation amount is listed on your bill statement each month. Statements received in January will also have the previous year's Operation Round Up total for tax purposes.
WHO DETERMINES WHERE FUNDS GO?
The Decatur County REMC Community Trust, Inc. is a separate entity with its own board of directors who oversee the Operation Round Up funds. The directors of the trust are members of Decatur County REMC and will receive and review applications from organizations requesting funding for charitable purposes and decide how to distribute funds according to the bylaws of the trust.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING?
Any organization within the Decatur County REMC service area can apply for funding one time per calendar year. The organization does not have to be a member of Decatur County REMC. Funds will not be used to pay utility bills or any type of political contributions.
