Operation Round Up® is able to support members in need within our service area
Operation Round Up® has been an incredibly successful way in which OVEC members have been able to help organizations and individuals in our area. Through Operation Round Up®, we round up participating member’s electric bills to the next highest dollar. For example, a member’s monthly bill of $52.73 would be automatically rounded up to $53.00, with the additional 27 cents going to the Operation Round Up® Fund. Participating members donate roughly six dollars for each year – and that pool of money is then allocated to a variety of worthy causes throughout our service area. This tax-deductible opportunity extends to our members and non-members as well.
