Who is eligible to apply?
Operation RoundUp is a grant program awarding money each quarter of the year (in January, April, July, and October) to non-profit organizations with 501c3 status or IRS designated non-profit status. Any 501c3 or IRS-designated non-profit in Wake Electric's service area - Durham, Franklin, Granville, Nash, Johnston, Vance, and Wake counties - may apply for up to $5,000.
How does Operation RoundUp work?
Operation RoundUp allows Wake Electric members to round up their electric bill to the next highest dollar and donate that amount to the program. For example, as an Operation RoundUp contributor, if your bill for the month of April was $91.85, your bill would be rounded up to $92.00 and the extra 15 cents would be donated to Operation RoundUp. It has been estimated that a member contributes an average of 50 cents per month or $6.00 per year. The maximum amount that a member can contribute in a year’s time would be $11.88. Each quarter, the board of directors for the program's administrative body, the Wake Electric Foundation board, meets to determine who will be awarded funds.
As a member, how can I contribute?
If you are interested in signing up to contribute to the program, please call 1-800-474-6300 today or email information@wemc.com. Contributing literally only costs you pennies a month, the pennies when combined with those of other contributors, add up to powerful dollars.
