What is Operation Round-Up?

Operation Round-Up is a community service program funded by the members of Comanche Electric Cooperative. As a participant, your electric bill is rounded up to the nearest dollar each month and the few extra cents go into the Operation Round-Up fund. Your average annual tax-deductible contribution is about $6 per account enrolled.

For example, if your monthly bill is $85.64, it is automatically rounded up to $86.00.

Where did Operation Round Up begin?

Operation Round-Up was started at Comanche Electric Cooperative in 2003.  Funds are spent locally. It is intended to benefit people and organizations within the Comanche Electric Cooperative service area. Donations go to:

  • Rural Fire Departments
  • Community Service Projects
  • Economic Development
  • Education and Youth Projects
  • Crisis Centers
  • Emergency Assistance, such as fires or medical tragedies

Who determines where funds go?

The CECA Operation Round Up fund is a separate entity with its own board of directors who oversee the funds. The directors of the trust are members of CECA and will receive and review applications requesting funding and decide how to distribute funds according to the bylaws of the trust.

Why is CECA involved in charitable organizations?

One of the cooperative principles is Concern for Community. We feel a strong responsibility to the people in the communities we serve that goes beyond simply providing reliable electricity. One of the most rewarding aspects of Operation Round Up is that it is an extension of the concept of neighbor helping neighbor that built our electric cooperative. Operation Round Up helps cooperative members reach out to worthy causes in their communities and work together to help others.

Who is eligible for funding?

To qualify for funds, the organization or individual must be located within the service area of Comanche Electric Cooperative. Individuals may apply for funds by completing an Individual Application and submitting it to the board of directors. Groups may apply by completing an Organization Application.

Operation Round-Up is a great example of the charitable spirit and generosity that exists among cooperative members to reach out to those within their local community who are in need.

How do we apply for funding?

Participation in the program is easy and can be done one of three ways:

  • Fill out one of the above forms and submit to CECA.
  • Sign in to your account via the "Pay Bill and Manage Your Account" tab on our website and sign up through the "Services" tab.
  • Call CECA and a form will be mailed to you.
