During the COVID-19 pandemic, North Georgia EMC Foundation's grantmaking priorities will focus on stabilizing individuals and families by ensuring their basic needs are met; addressing challenges such as food and housing insecurity; supporting nonprofit organizations and charities who provide low-cost or no-cost medical (physical and mental) treatment for low income individuals who are uninsured or underinsured; and helping at-risk veterans and individuals living with disabilities. For example, preference will be given to requests from non-profit organizations seeking grants pertaining to:

  • Hunger Relief- local food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, school- and after-school-based child feeding and nutrition programs that provide free or subsidized food to local at-risk populations.
  • Services for the Homeless- programs and services that prevent or end homelessness, rent assistance  programs, emergency shelter programs, rapid-rehousing programs, permanent supportive housing programs, and clothing closets.
  • Family Stabilization and Crisis Prevention- affordable or subsidized care, transportation, mental health counseling, drug addiction rehabilitation, domestic violence sheltering, sexual assault response and counseling, health and medical aid and assistance, etc. 
  • Emergency Relief-  organized relief programs for victims of home fires and/or natural disasters, etc.

100 percent of the contributions to Operation Round Up are awarded as grants directly benefiting residents of NGEMC’s seven-county service area.

Grants are used by local agencies committed to the following categories: helping families succeed; responding to emergencies; preparing for the future; and enriching our communities. Grants are allocated in proportion to the amount of contributions provided by the membership in each county. 

Operation Round Up’s goal is to address the needs of our service area, to designate available dollars where it can optimize the impact and to provide cost-effective assistance to worthwhile organizations and projects with local significance.

Operation Round Up (ORU) is administered through the North Georgia Electric Membership Foundation, a state-chartered, nonprofit organization created by North Georgia EMC. Funding requests made to North Georgia Electric Membership Foundation are evaluated and awarded by a Board of Trustees made up of seven volunteer leaders from our communities. 

Find your current ORU Trustees under the "Trustees" tab above.

As an important partner to the NGEMC Foundation, the Community Foundation of Northwest Georgia, which serves all seven counties in NGEMC's territory, is responsible for the verification of the ORU grant applications and provides professional advisors to assist the Trustees throughout the award process. 

Nonprofit charitable organizations and government organizations who operate within the seven counties served by North Georgia EMC (Catoosa, Chattooga, Gordon, Floyd, Murray, Walker, and Whitfield) may apply for grants to be used for specific projects. Grant applications are available twice a year: Jan.1 through Feb. 28; and July 1 through Aug. 31. Agencies cannot receive more than $10,000 in a 12 month period. All funds must be used within the North Georgia EMC seven-county service area.  

Seven volunteer members from our communities

Tim Jones, Chairman, Whitfield County
Bill Scott, Vice-Chairman, Murray County
Shay Love, Catoosa County
Dot West, Gordon County
Cindy Parrott, Walker County
