Operation Round Up is just what the name implies. Dubois REC will simply round up” the electric bill of participating members to the next highest dollar. For example, a member's monthly bill of $52.79 would be automatically rounded up to $53.00 with the additional 21 cents going to the Operation Round Up fund. Or, if your bill is $26.17, then the bill would be rounded up to $27.00 with 83 cents deposited in the fund. All Operation Round Up donations are placed in trust and administered by an independent board of trustees operating on behalf of the Dubois REC Community Fund, Inc. The seven member board of trustees serves on a voluntary basis and geographically covers the Dubois REC service territory.
