Operation Round Up (ORU) is one way MVEC members work together to make a difference. By rounding up your monthly electric bill to the nearest whole dollar, that extra change of 1¢ to 99¢ adds up and is used to fund requests by local charitable organizations.

MVEC has awarded local, charitable organizations over $1 million in grants since its inception in 1995.

Here’s how it works. If your bill is $75.22, it is rounded up to $76.00 – the extra 78¢ goes to the Operation Round Up Trust Fund. Multiply all that extra change by the thousands of generous MVEC members who participate and it makes a BIG difference in our local communities.
This unique program has provided funds for purchasing various items for local fire departments, women’s shelters, groups serving youth, medical equipment for those in need, donations to food shelves and many other worthwhile causes.
