Operation Round-Up
Operation Round-Up is a program being adopted by electric cooperatives
across the nation to help build stronger communities and make them better
places to live. Customer electric bills are “rounded up” to the next
dollar, averaging about 50 cents per customer per month. Dollars accumulated
by Operation Round-Up are forwarded to North Western Electric Trust
and put to work helping organizations/agencies and families/individuals
primarily in Williams and Defiance Counties.
Every cent collected by Operation Round-Up is placed in a special trust
fund to be used only for helping people or groups with specific needs.
The use of the funds will be at the sole discretion of the North Western
Electric Trust board of directors. The board consists of seven North
Western Electric Cooperative members. They will meet at least three
times a year to review and approve applications for assistance based
on demonstrated needs and funds available.
The North Western Electric Trust is a separate organization formed to
oversee the accumulation and disbursement of these funds. North Western
Electric Cooperative pays administration as well as all expenses for
North Western Electric Trust. This assures that all money collected
by Operation Round-Up is used for charitable projects.
