Operation Round Up

MVEC has awarded local, charitable organizations over $1.7 million in grants since its inception in 1995.

Here’s how Operation Round Up (ORU) 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. As of May 2018, the total donation amount is $1,764,487.63.
