Operation Round Up

OPERATION ROUND-UP

Small change that changes lives

Program Guidelines Individual Application Organization Application Trust Scholarship

Notice: Applications are suspended at this time.
 

"Small change that changes lives" is the foundation on which the Operation Round Up® program was built. Members who agree to participate allow Berkeley Electric Cooperative to “round up” their monthly electric bill to the next highest dollar. For example, a bill of $55.75 would be rounded up to $56.00 with the additional $0.25 going to the Operation Round Up® fund.

All Operation Round Up® funds stay right here in the Lowcountry. Guidelines for awarding this money address needs such as home repairs and other community services.

How much can I expect to contribute each year?

The amount "rounded up" on each participating customer's bill averages a total of $6 per year. The monthly billing statement shows how much is being donated each month, along with a year-end statement. The amount contributed to Operation Round Up® is tax deductible as tax laws permit.
 

Member Participation

Operation Round Up® is an opt-out program with all Berkeley Electric Cooperative members being automatically enrolled when they become a member. Members can opt-out at any time by simply contacting their local district office.
 

Guidelines

Operation Round Up® only provides funding for certain projects. For a list of qualifying and non-qualifying projects covered by the program please click here.
