Operation Round Up Accepting Grant Applications Until Feb. 1
Foundation: Kosciusko County Community Foundation
Each year, Kosciusko REMC encourages its members to "round up" their electric bills to the nearest whole dollar.
The extra cents are then deposited into the Operation Round Up fund, held by the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, which supports a variety of causes in communities served by KREMC.
Anyone considering this grant should set up a meeting with me before applying, says Terrill Hooks, program officer at the Community Foundation.
Operation Round Up favors applications that reach a broad segment of Kosciusko County; impact low-income individuals, families, and seniors; aid in youth development through mentoring and innovative educational opportunities outside of school, among other recommended parameters.
In 2021-22, grants were awarded to more than 30 local organizations, including Joe's Kids, Junior Achievement Serving Wawasee, Presby Preschool, and the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts.
A full list of grantees is available at kcfoundation.org/grants/kremc-operation-round-up.Grants are typically between $2,000-$5,000 and are awarded about six weeks after each application deadline.Detailed guidelines and the application are available on the Community Foundation's website.
