Central Electric Cooperative is accepting Operation Round-Up grant applications for local projects until Nov. 1. Through the grant program, organizations may request up to $3,000 for projects that benefit cooperative members and their communities.
A volunteer board of trustees representing Central Electric’s service area awards grants twice a year. Since Operation Round-Up began in 2015, more than $260,000 has been awarded to local projects.
Eligible organizations may include emergency services, municipalities, counties, schools, 4-H clubs, veteran organizations, community groups and certain non-profits. Grant applications should be submitted online with a cell phone, tablet or computer by Nov. 1 to be considered. For more information, call 605-996-7516 or visit centralec.coop/operation-round-up.
Operation Round-Up is a voluntary program in which Central Electric members round up their monthly electric bill to the next whole dollar. The extra cents are pooled together to help fund local projects.
