Deadline for Operation Round Up applications is approaching

Applications are now being accepted for Nobles Cooperative Electric's Operation Round Up Program, which is designed to provide financial assistance to non-profit organizations in the surrounding communities of Murray, Nobles and adjacent counties. 

Organizations that serve these communities can request funds for projects involving community service, economic development, education and youth, environment and disaster relief. The voluntary program allows cooperative members to round up their electric bills to the nearest dollar, with nearly 60 percent choosing to participate. Collectively, they contribute over $2,000 each month, creating a meaningful impact in the communities they call home.

Donations are placed in a trust fund and distributed twice a year by the Nobles-Murray Rural Electric Trust Board. Since 2001, $600,663 has been awarded to local organizations.

The program's trust board is currently accepting applications, and the deadline for submission is March 1. Visit www.nobles.coop for more.
