Small Change
Operation Round Up
In 2006, Central started Operation Roud Up. The program allows Central members to round up their electric bill to the next whole dollar as a donation to the Central Community Foundation. The maximum a member will donate is $11.88 per year, however, members make a big impact together.
Central Community Foundation
The Central Community Foundation accepts grant applications from residents, organizations and nonprofits within Central’s service area. The foundation board, which is separate from Central’s board, meets bi-monthly to review applications, and Operation Round Up money is distributed upon board approval.
Community
The collective impact of Central’s members is felt throughout communities within Central’s seven-county service area. Grants are given to health care, disaster relief, education, community purpose and personal need categories to ensure members’ donations make a difference in our local communities.
