The Board of Directors of Upshur Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation (URECC) recently voted to form URECF—Upshur Rural Electric Community Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation is to accumulate and disburse funds in support of charitable, scientific, religious, and educational purposes, in accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, using a bill round-up program.
The Foundation will only disburse funds for charitable purposes in the counties served by URECC, ensuring that all support directly benefits our local communities.
Beginning in January 2024, URECC members will have the option to enroll in this program by choosing to round up their bill to the next dollar. By doing so, each participating member will contribute approximately $6 annually to the fund. Members may also make one-time donations or set up recurring monthly contributions for a fixed amount. All member contributions will be pooled and distributed to a variety of worthy causes across URECC’s ten-county service area. Grants will be awarded to qualifying organizations, as determined by the URECF Board of Directors, with applications reviewed periodically as funds become available.
For less than $1 per month, you can help local organizations and communities address unmet needs. URECC members have the power to change lives throughout East Texas. Enrollment is simple—sign up through our SmartHub app or contact our Member Services department at 903-843-2536. With your donations, we can impact hundreds of lives and support vital community organizations throughout the URECC service area.
