Operation RoundUP®

One of the founding principles of this and every other electric cooperative is “Commitment to Community.” That’s not just a catchphrase, though. It’s as important to us at CCEC as providing you reliable, affordable electricity and innovative energy solutions.

“We sincerely love serving our members and raising the quality of life in our communities,” said CEO and General Manager Jake Joplin. “But just as important, our members show their commitment to their neighbors by contributing monthly to Operation RoundUP.”

Through RoundUP, CCEC members agree to have their electric bills rounded up to the nearest dollar each month (an average of $6 a year or 50¢ a month). Co-op members have been “rounding up” since 1999, and the more than $3.81 million raised has been spread across multiple charities for the benefit of programs and individuals in our area.

The foundation is run by co-op members who volunteer to serve on the board and review grant requests. Their mission is simple: “To assist and empower individuals with resources provided through the generosity of CCEC members.”
