Operation Round Up
Operation Round-Up is a program that allows Nishnabotna Valley REC consumer-owners to make a difference in their own communities. Operation Round-Up allows you to "round-up" your monthly electric bills and donate the difference to a charitable fund to be used in Nishnabotna Valley REC's service territory. The minimum amount you contribute each month is $0.01, and the maximum is $0.99.
How does Operation Round-Up work? If you choose to participate, your electric bill will be rounded-up to the next highest dollar each month. For example, if your electric bill is $52.71, an additional balance of 29 cents will be added, making your bill and even $53.00.
How will the funds be used? Donations will be made from the fund to non-profit organizations and individuals in need and also for family emergency disasters. The program has been successfully implemented in more than 200 electric co-ops across the nation.
The program will be administered by Nishnabotna Valley REC's Board of Directors. Application forms will be available at the REC office and will be reviewed by the Board of Directors quarterly. Applications should be received no later than the 15th of the month at the end of the quarter. Contributions to the fund are not tax deductible.
