Operation Round Up

The success of Operation Round Up is a testament to the kindness and generosity of our members. It is through their selfless contributions that we can make a real and lasting difference in the lives of those facing challenges in our community.

Small Change. Big Impact.

 

What started as a simple idea 33 years ago at one co-op in South Carolina has grown into a nationwide effort to make communities stronger. The concept? Round up your electric bill to the next dollar—and turn spare change into real change.

Today, SCEC is proud to join more than 350 electric co-ops across the country using Operation Round Up® to make a difference. In 2023, we launched the program and created SCEC Serves, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people and organizations close to home.

 

 

How It Works

  • Your bill is rounded up to the next dollar.
  • That extra few cents goes into the Operation Round Up fund.
  • Example: A $49.77 bill becomes $50.00. Just 23 cents helps change lives!

Average yearly contribution: about $6.
Maximum yearly contribution: $11.88.
 

Why It Matters

Since its start, SCEC Serves has awarded over $1.6 million in grants to individuals and organizations making a difference. Every penny counts—and together, those pennies create opportunities, hope, and stronger communities.
