December 2025 UCEMC Cares Grants
Sometimes the biggest impact starts with the smallest action. Through UCEMC Cares, members can choose to round up their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar. That simple decision turns a few cents into meaningful support for local nonprofits, schools, and community organizations across the Upper Cumberland.
Because of your generosity, local nonprofits are receiving the support they need to make a difference! Since 2014, our UCEMC Cares program has contributed $2,250,092.28 to organizations in our community, helping fund projects that benefit us all.
That is the power of members working together. A few cents at a time becomes a reliable resource for local groups that are feeding families, supporting students, expanding programs, and meeting urgent needs.
When you enroll in UCEMC Cares, your bill is rounded up to the nearest dollar each month.
For example, if your bill is $87.60, it rounds up to $88.00. The extra $0.40 goes directly toward UCEMC Cares. No large donation is required. It is steady, simple, and member powered.
If you are not already participating, we invite you to sign up and be part of something meaningful. Your spare change helps create opportunities, provide support, and strengthen communities across the Upper Cumberland. To learn more and sign up, visit https://www.ucemc.com/ucemc-cares/
UCEMC Cares is also here to support local organizations doing important work. If you are a nonprofit serving our community, we encourage you to apply for a UCEMC Cares grant. Details and application information are available at https://www.ucemc.com/ucemc-cares/
Thank you to every member who chooses to round up. You are proof that a little change really can change a lot.
