First Electric members are making a difference one rounded-up bill at a time. In October, Operation Round-Up® awarded $22,250 to 21 organizations serving communities throughout our service area.

The funding supports a variety of local needs, including youth programs, literacy, fire and emergency services, and assistance for children and families. These contributions help organizations continue their work and extend their reach to more neighbors.

Operation Round-Up allows participating members to round their monthly electric bill up to the next whole dollar. Those small contributions are pooled to provide grants to organizations serving our communities.
