OPERATION ROUNDUP®

Operation Round Up logo

THE MISSION

The mission of the Operation RoundUp® program is to provide financial resources to support, improve, or advance communities and organizations throughout MEC's service area.

INTRODUCTION

As a cooperative, MEC follows a set of seven principles. One of these principles is “Concern for Community,” which means that while we focus on the needs of our members, we also strive to improve the community as a whole.

In the spirit of serving our members and our communities, MEC offers Operation RoundUp®. Operation RoundUp® is a national program that's been serving rural communities for over three decades. Since its inception, the program has been adopted by 260 electric cooperatives, and has generated $50 million in charitable donations. 

SMALL CHANGE. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Each month, your electric bill can be voluntarily "rounded up" to the nearest whole dollar amount with the extra change going into a separate Operation RoundUp® fund. For example, if your bill is $87.56, you will be billed an even $88.00 and the extra $0.44 goes toward helping various causes in the community. On average, participating members can expect to donate about $6.00 per year, and at most, $11.88. Together, those small amounts will make a big difference! It is an inexpensive and convenient way to give to charitable programs within the community.

Members are always welcome to donate additional funds to the program by calling the office. Program donations are tax deductible. A year-end donation total will be located on December, January, and February statements for all participants.
