Operation Round Up® helps co-op members reach out to worthy causes in your community and work together to help others. Your pennies, nickels and dimes can help raise thousands of dollars every year. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OPERATION ROUND UP®? Use the tabs below to search for your local EMC by EMC name or county served. You can be certain that 100% of your donations are being used to help better your community. Green Power EMC is owned by 38 of Georgia’s 41 customer-owned EMCs that provide electricity and related services to more than four million people, almost half of Georgia’s population, across 65 of the state’s land area in 151 of 159 counties.
Funds cannot be used for political purposes, to pay electric bills or given to individuals. The Board will decide how the money is disbursed on a need basis. Funding requests will be accepted from non profit or charitable organizations or community service organizations. The Planters EMC Operation Round Up® is governed by a separate Board of Directors made up of community leaders. But please keep in mind that it is still a voluntary program and you may opt in or out at any time. We truly believe that the vast majority of our members will want to participate in the worthwhile program, so it is much easier to implement by asking for a response from a smaller percentage rather than a much larger percentage. We chose this method based on information from many other EMC’s that have implemented the program this way. This was a difficult decision that was made after much consideration. WHY IS PLANTERS EMC AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLING EVERYONE? It is an inexpensive and convenient way to give to charitable and educational programs within your community. On average, a member will only contribute $6.00 PER YEAR but with everyone pitching in, all that extra change really adds up. For example if your bill is $87.23, you will actually be billed $88.00 and the extra $.77 goes toward helping various goodwill causes in your community. Unless you choose NOT to participate, your electric bill is “rounded up” each month to the nearest whole dollar amount with the extra change going into a separate Operation Round Up® fund. Together, those small amounts will make a big difference! Through Operation Round Up®, each participating Planters EMC member makes a small monthly contribution. It was designed to help a variety of worthwhile community, youth, educational and environmental programs. This was originally started by Palmetto Electric Membership Cooperative in South Carolina and has since been adopted by many co-ops in Georgia. You now have the opportunity to help others in your community through a program called “Operation Round Up®”.
