Sumter EMC Foundation
The Sumter EMC Foundation, Inc. was started in the spring of 2003. It is funded by members who participate in Sumter EMC's Operation Round Up® program. Participation in the program is voluntary, and 100 percent of the funds generated are returned to the communities within Sumter EMC's service area through grants to schools and local civic or charitable organizations.
Each month Sumter EMC "rounds up" the electric bill of participating members to the next whole dollar and deposits the spare change in an interest-bearing account administered by a separate board of trustees of the Sumter EMC Foundation, Inc. Individually, members contribute an average of just $6 per year, but collectively, their pocket change adds up to thousands of dollars. The funds available are awarded for worthy community projects by the Foundation's Board of Trustees . If you are interested in applying for a grant for up to $5,000, please refer to the guidelines below.
If you do not participate in Operation Round Up®, we encourage you to fill out the form using the link below, or call Sumter EMC today to sign up. Operation Round Up® is a beautiful, inexpensive, and tax-deductible way for you to help improve your community. After all, where else can you spend just $6 a year and positively impact so many lives?
Funds available to the Sumter EMC Foundation, Inc. are raised through members allowing their monthly electric bills to be rounded up to the next whole dollar. The extra change is collected and awarded by a Board of Trustees for worthy community projects. The following guidelines will help in understanding how these funds are awarded.
- The Foundation does not provide grants to individuals and religious organizations (see Footnote below), nor does it fund political campaigns or causes.
- Projects must be located in or serve populations of the Sumter EMC eleven county service area (Chattahoochee, Dougherty, Lee, Marion, Quitman, Randolph, Schley, Stewart, Sumter, Terrell, and Webster).
- An organization receiving a grant may be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, but such tax-exempt status is not required to receive funding. Funding for proposed projects that otherwise qualify for funds will not be disallowed because the organization receiving the funds and undertaking the project may be an incidental beneficiary of the project. The Foundation's determination regarding compliance with this guideline shall be final, subject only to the decisions of the Sumter EMC Board of Directors.
- The Foundation prefers to support specific programs and capital campaigns on a prospective basis instead of funding a project that has already been completed.
- Preference will be given to projects in counties where the funds are collected.
- To maintain flexibility in giving, the Foundation does not provide multiyear funding commitments.
- The foundation does not award funds for pageants, field trips, and athletic or academic tournaments.
- Grant requests must be reviewed and approved by the Foundation board, which meets in January, May, and September each year. Proposals for board consideration should be submitted one month before the respective board meetings. All grant applicants will be notified within ten days of the Board's decision.
- Organizations may make an application once per 12-month period and may reapply on an annual basis. Applications must be made using the latest published application (approved 1/20/2015). Click here for approved application form.
- A public or private school system (K-12), university or college must apply as an organization representing all its schools or departments no more than once a year. The Superintendent (for grades K-12) or President (for a university or college) must sign the application, or a letter of support signed by the Superintendent or President must accompany the application.
Footnote: While the Foundation is not authorized to provide grants or funds to a particular religious organization, group, or denomination, community-related projects which are determined by the Foundation to be consistent with the bylaws, purposes, and objectives of the Foundation will receive funding consideration, even where such projects are to be conducted by a religious organization, if the Foundation determines that such project is to be conducted by the sponsor for a secular or non-religious purpose or undertaking. Any funds provided in such cases must in no way impact the budgets of the sponsoring religious organization.
Grant awards typically range from $500 to $5,000. The amount awarded is based on several factors. Some key elements include:
- The number of individuals who will benefit from the project. ($ per individual)
- Favor given to projects with lasting value over projects of short-term value.
- Indications of community-wide support and involvement.
- Organizations that demonstrate the managerial and financial capacity to implement and complete the project.
- Credible evidence of the organization's ability to sustain the project beyond the duration of the grant.
- Whether or not regional or national funds support the organization or project.
- A clear statement of the project or organization's purpose.
- Stability of organizational finances.
- The relationship between the scale of the project budget and the size of the organization's annual operating budget.
- The impact of full or partial funding. (Partial funding is given once the total amount is pledged.)
