Operation Round-Up®

Since 1936, Boone REMC has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for people in our service area. Not only do we strive to provide reliable electric service and teach people about energy efficiency, we believe that supporting and improving our local communities is an important part of our mission.

This tradition continues with our community service program called Operation Round-Up®. This voluntary program rounds up customers' monthly electric bills to the next whole dollar amount. Research indicates that the average monthly contribution is 50¢ per month or $6 per year.

The collected funds are put into an independent, 501c3 trust and disbursed through a grant process. A volunteer board of trustees meets bimonthly to review grant requests. These funds will not be used for any political activities or for the payment of electric bills.

Examples of organizations that have received Operation Round-Up grants are: Boone County Habitat for Humanity, Boone County Senior Services, Thorntown Public Library, Boone County Learning Network, Boone County Community Clinic and Arc Rehab Services.

No action on your part is required. New customers are automatically enrolled in the Operation Round-Up program.

If you do not want to participate, simply contact our office and let us know.

Your Operation Round-Up contribution will be listed as a separate line item on your monthly electric bill. If you are enrolled in Operation Round-Up, and you did not wish to be enrolled, we will refund your contributions.
