Grants Awarded
Operation Round Up exists because of the generosity of Cotton Electric's members. Every month, over 12,300 members of the cooperative kick in a little extra change, rounding up their monthly power bill to the nearest dollar. Contributions ranging from one cent to 99 cents are pooled and provide the funds for the Cotton Electric Charitable Foundation.
A total of $15,600 in CECF grants were awarded in the fourth quarter of 2011. A total of $574,202.54 has been distributed since CECF's inception in 2004.
