Operation Roundup is funded by the voluntary contributions of Tri-County EMC Members to the Tri-County EMC Foundation. Participants in the program have their monthly bill rounded up to the next dollar and the difference is donated to Operation Roundup. Any individual wishing to make a tax-deductible donation to the foundation may contact Kim Bonner at 478.986.8126 or make a check payable to: Tri-County EMC Foundation, Inc., PO Box 487, Gray, GA, 31032. 

Any non-profit, civic, religious or government organization located within Tri-County’s eight-county service area is eligible to receive funding. Applications must be for special needs or projects. No applications for contributions to an organization’s general funds will be accepted. Applications may be downloaded from Tri-County EMC’s website or mailed upon request by calling 478.986.8126.

The Foundation Board encourages you to promote Operation Roundup in your community in an effort to keep funds flowing in to the Tri-County EMC Foundation so that deserving projects can continue to be funded. To encourage member participation, Tri-County EMC staff members are available to make Operation Roundup presentations to civic groups throughout the service area. To schedule a presentation, contact Kim Bonner at 478.986.8126 or kimb@tri-countyemc.com.
