What is Operation Round Up®?

It’s an ongoing charitable fundraising program to benefit worthwhile community projects.

Dubois REC customers who round up their electric bill to an even dollar amount donate those funds.

How does the program work?

Each month, members who wish to participate will allow Dubois Rural Electric Cooperative to automatically round up electric bills to the next even dollar amount. For example, if your bill is $68.51, your bill will be rounded up to $69, meaning that month’s contribution is 49 cents. If your bill is $68.90, your bill will be rounded up to $69, contributing 10 cents.

The extra cents will be put into the Dubois Rural Electric Community Fund, Inc. The cost to you will be 99 cents or less per month and will average about $6 a year per member.

Individually it doesn’t sound like much, but collectively it adds up in a hurry.

What are some possible uses for the fund?

Examples of grants would be to fire department equipment, EMS, youth and school groups, youth camps, fundraisers for an individual’s medical needs, foundation, senior citizen groups and other various community programs and projects.
