SVECares: Small Change Changes Lives
The change donated from rounding up your monthly electric bill goes to help cancer patients in our communities, volunteer fire departments, food banks and many more. Thanks to your generosity, since 2000, over $2.9 million has been given back to our communities.
In 2000, SVEC began a “round-up” program, SVECares, for our communities. Today, the very successful program allows SVEC members to donate the “change” between their actual SVEC monthly bills and the “rounded-up” amounts – an average of 50 cents per month from each member – to a fund that is used to improve the quality of life in our service area. Over twenty years since the program became a reality, SVEC members have changed thousands of lives a few cents at a time, providing opportunities, empowering community organizations and giving hope to those in need.
To view how the “small change” is distributed, go to the Reports section at the bottom of this page.
The funds from SVECares are not used for political purposes or to pay electric or other utility bills.
