Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Operation Round Up is a voluntary program that allows Coweta-Fayette EMC members to make a big difference in their communities through small monthly donations.

Members who participate simply have their electric bill rounded up to the nearest dollar each month. For example, a $65.40 bill becomes $66. The average member contributes about $6 per year, and 100% of the funds collected are used to support local individuals, families, educators, students, and nonprofit organizations.

The funds are managed by the Coweta-Fayette EMC Trust Board, an independent board that reviews applications and determines how donations are distributed. CFEMC does not keep any of the money collected. Since its beginning, Operation Round Up has provided more than $7 million in assistance to communities within the CFEMC service territory.

How to Participate

Operation Round Up is completely voluntary. Members can sign up or opt out at any time by:

• Completing the Operation Round Up enrollment form
• Logging into your online account and selecting “Round Up” under the Services tab

Our History

Operation Round Up began at an electric cooperative in South Carolina in the late 1980s as a way for cooperative members to put the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors into action. The program quickly gained national attention, and cooperatives across the country began offering it to their members.

Coweta-Fayette EMC became licensed to participate in Operation Round Up in 1993, continuing the tradition of giving back to the communities we serve.
