REMC Save
We provide savings!
REMC SAVE is a FREE service to all Michigan Schools. We provide competitively bid, large volume contracts for a variety of educational resources, including furniture, school and office supplies, software and digital services and technology. Awarded vendors pay a small fee to the REMC Association to cover the cost of the project and provide Michigan schools and educators free resources and professional learning statewide.
The REMC Association of Michigan put nearly $129 million back into the budgets of schools in 2023 through REMC SAVE.
