North Arkansas Electric Cooperative launched Operation Round Up® in January 2005. Members volunteer to have their monthly electric bill "rounded up" to the next highest dollar. Donations are tax deductible, and participants are sent a summary of their yearly contributions each January/February.
Operation Round Up donations are placed in a trust and administered by an independent board of volunteer co-op members. The board receives and evaluates all requests, determines who receives funding and how all Operation Round Up monies are distributed. Since its inception, the cooperative has awarded over $270,000 in college scholarships and has assisted community organizations with project grants.
