2023-2024 Operation Round Up Foundation Grants
We automatically enroll members in The Operation Round Up Foundation when they start service with The Energy Cooperative. Operation Round Up funds are distributed to member communities as grants. Non-profit organizations of all kinds apply for (and receive) funding for things that fall into the category of 'extra'. The schools, community organizations and other non-profit groups typically fund part of the project themselves. All grants are reviewed and approved by The Operation Round Up Foundation Board.
