Resumen de operaciones

Crea un cambio real

Operation Round Up es una forma fácil y conveniente para que los miembros del DMEA marquen una diferencia real en sus comunidades.

Las facturas mensuales de electricidad de los miembros participantes se redondean automáticamente al dólar más cercano, más cualquier monto adicional que deseen designar. Ese dinero se deposita en el fondo Operation Round Up. El Fideicomiso Benéfico Operation Round Up del DMEA distribuye las donaciones de ese fondo mensualmente en función de las necesidades y el impacto en la comunidad. El Fideicomiso Benéfico Operation Round Up del DMEA está compuesto por nueve miembros voluntarios de todo el territorio de servicio del DMEA.

Gracias a los miembros, como usted, todos los años, Operation Round Up dona aproximadamente 57 000 dólares a organizaciones y familias necesitadas que valen la pena en nuestras comunidades locales.
