Operation Round Up® is a charitable program unique to electric cooperatives that is designed to provide financial assistance to local nonprofit organizations and community projects.
When your small change can make a BIG difference
Donations made since the program inception in October 2004:
$3,393,023.18
Contributions current through August 2024
Co-op members can voluntarily participate by “rounding up” electric bills each month to the nearest dollar.
For less than $1 a month, you can make a difference in someone’s life. It may seem like small change, and it is, but when you multiply that by the thousands of Lake Country Power members who will be participating in Operation Round Up®, it makes a big difference.
