Ocmulgee EMC was formed
in 1938 and since then we have been dedicated to helping the people
in our service territory. We do this by no only providing affordable
electric service to our customers, but also by our active involvement
in important community endeavors.
Now with Operation Round Up, an innovative program that provides financial
assistance to worthwhile activities and worthy individuals in our service
area, we can share a simple and rewarding way for Ocmulgee EMC members
to help support our community.
Each month the electric bill of participating members are rounded up
to the next highest dollar amount, and that extra change, anything from
a penny to 99 cents, goes into the Operation Round Up fund administered
by the Ocmulgee EMC Foundation Board.
The average contribution is just 50 cents a month. That may not seem like
a lot, but with a majority of Ocmulgee EMC members participating, Operation
Round Up is able to do a world of good. The funds are used to help qualifying
charitable/community organizations with specific needs that they have
and to help people in need of assistance. All donations are tax-deductible
and members will receive a summary of contributions at year’s end.
Decisions about the disbursement of funds are made by a 7-member board,
the Ocmulgee EMC Foundation Board of Directors. The members of this group
evaluate the applications for assistance and make final decisions on funding
requests at the regular meetings. They serve as volunteers and receive
no pay or other compensation for their time and efforts.
