Operation Round Up Operation Round Up, an innovative program that provides funding for all kinds of worthy projects here in our own community. Through Operation Round Up, Jefferson Energy Cooperative Foundation fills the food, shelter, health and education needs of people in our community.

How Does It Work?
The Jefferson Energy Cooperative bills of participating consumers are automatically "rounded-up" to the nearest dollar. For example, if your bill is $92.71 you will pay $93.00 with the 29 cents going directly to the Jefferson Energy Cooperative Foundation. The average Member contributes about six dollars a year. It's small change that changes lives.

How Is The Money Used?
Requests for assistance from The Jefferson Energy Cooperative Foundation are evaluated and awarded by a separate board of directors, made up of nine volunteer leaders from our own community. The Jefferson Energy Cooperative Foundation is a state chartered, non-profit organization and any small administrative costs will be absorbed by Jefferson Energy Cooperative. Rest assured, 100% of your contributions goes to make life better for our community.

How Do I Join?

What Are The Benefits of Operation Round Up?

These funds can be used to purchase emergency medical equipment, further education, provide hot meals to the elderly, buy equipment for the handicapped, or to fill a host of other needs in our community.
