Operation Round Up

operation_round_up-250x203.jpg

MWEC is dedicated to helping the people in northwestern North Dakota live better lives, not only with affordable electric power, but through its involvement in the community. Through Operation Round Up, an innovative community service fundraising program, MWEC provides a simple and rewarding way for its members to help support worthwhile projects in our service area.

Operation Round Up is just what the name implies. Each month, MWEC simply rounds up the electric bill of participating members to the nearest dollar. For example, a member's monthly bill of $52.73 would be automatically rounded up to $53.00, with the additional 27 cents going to the Operation Round Up fund. Funds are awarded on an application basis to needy individuals and community-based, non-profit organizations. Political purposes and for-profit organizations are not eligible for funding. The funding decisions of the program are made by the Operation Round Up Board of Directors, in accordance with the program's bylaws.
