Daviess-Martin County REMC is dedicated to helping the communities we serve. One way we do that is through Operation Round Up, which we started in March of 2004. That’s 20 years of giving back! Through Operation Round Up, we ask our members to voluntarily round up their monthly electric bill to the next whole dollar; on average, this comes out to about $6 a year per member. Each quarter, we accept grant applications from local organizations, and the Operation Round Up board then meets to disburse grants to as many organizations as possible.

Since March 2004, $605,456.05 has been granted to organizations right here in our community! In 2023 alone, $23,000 was granted.

Does it sound like a program you would like to participate in? To opt-in to Operation Round Up, go to dmremc.com/operation-round-up-opt-in. You can also call the office at 812-295-4200, and we will help you get signed up.
