What is Operation RoundUP?
At Carteret-Craven Electric Co-op (CCEC) we love our members’ monthly contributions to Operation RoundUP and the difference their small change makes in the lives of our friends, neighbors, and communities.
A majority of CCEC members show their compassion each month, by rounding up their electric bills to nearest dollar amount.
Example
- Let’s say your bill one month is $81.75, the bill would be automatically rounded up to $82, and the extra 25¢ would go toward Operation RoundUP.
The average amount rounded up in a year is $6 per member. The maximum amount anyone will contribute is $11.88 year (99¢ x 12 months). The money raised is placed with the Carteret-Craven Electric Foundation, which is run by volunteer co-op members who serve on the board of directors and review grant requests.
Are You In?
RoundUP is completely voluntary, but for a very small amount of money you can do so much for those in need in our communities.
Check your bill and see if you are rounding up each month. If not, and you want to see your small change make a big difference, call us at (252) 247-3107 or complete this form.
