Grant applications for Central Electric Cooperative’s Operation Round-Up® program are due Nov. 1, 2024. Through Operation Round-Up, funds are awarded twice each year to organizations that benefit area communities.
Applicants do not need to be members of Central Electric Cooperative, but eligible projects should have a positive impact in Central Electric’s territory which includes Aurora, Brule, Buffalo, Davison, Hanson, Jerauld, Miner and Sanborn County.
Operation Round-Up is a voluntary program in which members round their electric bill up to the next whole dollar each month, and the extra cents are used to fund grants. A number of cooperative employees and board members also contribute to the fund. Since 2015, Central Electric members, employees and board members have invested more than $200,000 to support projects.
Complete funding guidelines and a fillable Operation Round-Up grant application can be found online at www.centralec.coop under member programs.
