About Operation Round Up

Operation Round Up logoOperation Round Up is an ongoing charitable fundraising program to benefit worthwhile community projects.

  • TCEC members who round up their electric bill to an even dollar amount donate those funds.
  • While an individual member’s donation amounts to pocket change each month, the program allows TCEC to collect an average of $6 for each participating meter annually. Together, those donations add up.
  • Many rural electric cooperatives across the country have implemented the program which was originated by Palmetto Electric Cooperative in South Carolina.

Concern for Community

  • One of the cooperative principles is Concern for Community.  We feel a strong responsibility to the people in our service territory that goes beyond simply providing reliable, affordable power.
  • One of the most rewarding aspects of Operation Round Up is that it is an extension of the concept of neighbor helping neighbor that built our electric cooperative.
  • Operation Round Up helps co-op members reach out to worthy causes in their communities and work together to help others.
