Operation Round Up
KV REMC gives to the local community through scholarships and supporting non-profits .
Operation Round Up® Trust
With Kankakee Valley REMC’s Operation Round Up®, a little change can help a lot. When members round their bills up automatically, KV REMC is able to donate to local non-profits. By participating, you are helping friends and neighbors in our community. And every year, those pennies add up, and for every member that participates, we are able to donate up to $6 to worthy causes. With 18,000 members, the potential impact is huge!
The Operation Round Up board of directors meets quarterly to review grant applications. If you wish to apply in 2022, please submit your application to the KV REMC office by one of the dates below for review during that month.
