Community Grants

Operation Round Up Grants Awarded

SCEC Serves, Inc.

SCEC Serves, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit corporation that administers the funds from St. Croix Electric Cooperative's Operation Round Up program. The SCEC Serves, Inc. Board of Directors meets quarterly in March, June, September and December.

Your small change can make a BIG Difference! 

This philanthropic program supports local not-for-profit entities and others in need in our community. 

Operation Round Up works by rounding up members' bills to the nearest dollar amount each month. 

For example, if your energy bill is $83.75, it will automatically be rounded up to $84, with the additional 25 cents going to fund those in need through the Operation Round Up fund.   

Since 2023, SCEC Serves, Inc. has awarded 106 Operation Round Up Grants totaling $151,015.
