The way this program works is simple. Each month Northeastern "rounds up" the electric bills of participating members to the next highest dollar. For example, a bill for $83.76 would be rounded to $84.00 and .24¢ would be donated to the program from this bill. The program is strictly voluntary. Members must opt-in the program by contacting our member services department and requesting to participate in the program.

All donations are placed in a trust fund and administered by the board of trustees of Northeastern REMC Community Trust, Inc.

Those eligible to apply for funds include all individuals in our service territory, and organizations with financial need. For the most part, funds will be provided to meet the needs of applicants which aren’t being met through other sources. Funding for political contributions and payment of utility bills will not be considered. Applications for funds are reviewed by the trustee board three times a year.

Each member who participates will receive an annual summary of their contributions on their December bill. All contributions to Operation RoundUp^® are tax-deductible. On the average, each member contributes approximately $6.00 per year. The whole concept of this program is "Small change that changes lives".
