Operation Round Up

Operation Round Up is a voluntary program set up for Capital Electric Cooperative consumers. Participants agree to have their monthly electric billings "rounded up" to the nearest dollar each month. Those pennies are placed in a Charitable Trust to be awarded to a person or group for charitable, educational or scientific purposes.

Five Capital Electric members serve on the board of directors for the Charitable Trust. They meet twice a year to read applications and determine grant worthiness.

Almost 6,000 electric customers of Capital Electric participate in Operation Round Up, generating close to $2,500 a month in funds for the trust. Since its inception in August 1997, more than 31 million pennies in Operation Round Up funds have been donated to various organizations and individuals.

Any individual or organization may apply!

The next deadline is Friday, Jan. 29, 2012. To download an application, click here. Or, stop by co-op headquarters at 4111 State St. N. in Bismarck or call (701) 223-1513 to request an application.

Every member can make a difference! If you're a Capital Electric member and you do not currently round up your bill, please consider participating in the Operation Round Up program. Your donation is tax deductible, and members who take part in this program will receive a summarized statement in their last billing statement of the year.
