Members can help fund future scholarships by enrolling their electric accounts in Operation Round Up. Participants agree to have their monthly electric bills “rounded up” to the nearest dollar. For example, a bill of $125.60 would become $126. To enroll, please complete the form on the Operation Round Up webpage. Donations are placed in a trust and administered by a five-member independent board of community leaders.
