Operation RoundUp:
Spare change can help your neighbors
When Northeastern
REMC was founded in 1936, people joined together to build their own electric
system because private power companies refused to serve rural areas. Continuing
this principle of working together, we have implemented a program which
helps co-op customers reach out to worthy causes in their communities
and work together to help others. This program is called Operation RoundUp®.

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. This program is strictly voluntary
if members don't want to participate, they don't have to.
All donations
are placed in a trust fund and administered by the board of trustees of
Northeastern REMC Community Trust, Inc. Funds gathered by the program
are allocated for many types of worthy projects in Northeastern's service
area. Funds are used to support not-for-profit organizations and individuals
with critical needs.
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".
