Baldwin County Electric Membership Charitable Foundation

About Baldwin County Electric Membership Charitable Foundation

Baldwin County Electric Membership Charitable Foundation Inc. channels funding through Operation Round Up, a voluntary bill-roundup program that supports local charities and scholarships in Baldwin County and southern Monroe County. The clearest pattern in the recent grants is direct financial assistance to organizations working on food, shelter, clothing, health, education, and related community needs. A large share of the foundation’s recent support goes to recurring local safety-net organizations. Alabama Sheriff's Youth Ranch appears multiple times across 2023, 2024, and 2025, with awards at the $20,000 level in two of those years and $19,000+ in another. Other repeated recipients include United Way of Baldwin County, Prodisee Pantry, Ecumenical Ministries, Catholic Social Services, and Robertsdale Rotary Foundation Inc., showing an emphasis on organizations that deliver services locally rather than on statewide or national intermediaries. Education is another visible thread. The foundation administers scholarship and classroom-grant programs alongside community grants, including scholarship support for students in its service area and Star Light grants for teachers and schools. That mix of emergency help, community assistance, and educational support defines how the foundation gives.

What Baldwin County Electric Membership Charitable Foundation Funds

Basic-needs support is central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $20,000 to Prodisee Pantry in Spanish Fort for financial assistance, and it supported Catholic Social Services in Robertsdale and Ecumenical Ministries in Fairhope at the same $20,000 level for similar purposes. Youth and family services also appear repeatedly. Alabama Sheriff's Youth Ranch in Summerdale received $20,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Family Promise of Baldwin County in Foley received $20,000 in 2025. The Baldwin County Child Advocacy Center in Bay Minette also received a $20,000 grant in 2024. Health-related support is present as well. The Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation in Daphne received $16,000 in 2025, and Alabama Free Clinic in Bay Minette received $15,000 in 2025. Alongside these service grants, the foundation’s scholarship and teacher-grant programs point to continued support for education in the same geographic area.
