One of the objectives of the Broad River Electric Charities Board, the governing body entrusted with our members’ monthly donations, is to fairly allocate the Operation Round Up® funds to the counties we serve; primarily Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union Counties. For each of the year’s four grant cycles, the 7-member board selects recipients whose work has an impact on Broad River Electric members as well as their entire communities.
