KREMC Operation Round Up
Broad Grants for Charitable Programs
Kosciusko REMC encourages its members to “round up” their electric bills to the nearest whole dollar. The extra cents are deposited into the Kosciusko REMC Operation Round Up Fund, which supports a variety of charitable causes in communities served by Kosciusko REMC. Grant applications are due on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year, with a Pre-Grant Inquiry being due on the 15th of the month prior to the application deadline. Decisions are made based on the Decision Timeline shown near the bottom of this page.
