Round Up
What Is Operation Round Up?
Operation Round Up is a voluntary program that does just what its name
implies. Each month Cornhusker Power simply “rounds up” the
electric bills of participating customers to the next highest dollar.
When you participate, you join nearly 67% of Cornhusker residential customers
who round up their bills.
Small Change That Changes Lives
Through participation, the average contribution per customer is about
50 cents a month or $6.00 a year. Small change to the individual, but
the thousands of dollars that are generated from thousands of customers
mean a big difference to the people in our area. If your monthly electric
bill was $52.73, the amount due would automatically be rounded up to $53.00,
with the additional 27 cents going to the Operation Round Up Fund. Donations
are tax deductible and customers are sent a summary of their yearly contributions
each January or February.
Where Does The Money Go?
All Operation Round Up donations are placed in the Cornhusker
Power Goodwill Fund and administered by an independent Board of Trustees.
The Cornhusker Power Goodwill Fund Trustees evaluate all requests for
funds and decide how they will be distributed. Funds are used to address
community needs such as life saving equipment, playground improvements,
library equipment, computer software for schools, but it is not limited
to these categories.
Who Is Eligible For Funds?
Funding from Cornhusker Power Goodwill Fund is available to organizations
within the counties served by Cornhusker Power—Platte, Boone, Nance,
Colfax, Greeley and Wheeler. The recipient does not have to be a customer
of Cornhusker Power. Organizations may apply once a year. Funds shall
not be used for religious or political purposes. Print out the application
and submit to Cornhusker Public Power District.
Who Serves On The Board?
The Board of Trustees consists of five people in the Cornhusker Power
service area—two members from Platte County, one from Colfax County,
one from Nance or Greeley County and one from Boone or Wheeler County.
