A seven-member Board of Directors governs the money collected by People Helping People. Requests for assistance are evaluated on a quarterly basis and donations dispersed at the PHP Board of Directors' discretion.
The primary purpose of People Helping People is to address charitable needs and provide financial assistance to members or charitable organizations in the 5 counties served by Randolph EMC. 100% of your contributions go toward improving the lives of others, and the funds will not be used for political purposes. You may cancel your participation in the program at any time.
Each month, those members participating in PHP have their bills rounded up to the nearest dollar. Randolph EMC collects that "spare change" and deposits it into the PHP account. From there, the money is disbursed by the PHP Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
On average, you will contribute just $6 a year — a small amount to help worthy causes in our communities. For less than the cost of one soft drink, candy bar or cup of coffee a month, this small, monthly contribution can make a huge impact in someone's life.
People Helping People (PHP) is a program that provides financial support to organizations and individuals within the 5 counties served by Randolph EMC. Money for members is raised by members. Those who wish to participate simply elect to round up their power bills to the nearest dollar each month.
