Organizations involved in community projects and charities are encouraged to apply for funds from Operation Round Up at this time. Completed grant applications are due in the Red Lake Electric Cooperative (RLEC) office by Tuesday, March 2nd.
Operation Round Up is a program adopted by RLEC headquartered in Red Lake Falls. Members choosing to “round up” their monthly electric bill payment provide funds for this effort. Today 96% of RLEC members now choose to contribute pennies each month to enhance their communities.
Funds will be donated primarily to nonprofit organizations to help fund specific projects or programs. Since the program began in 1993, $586,991 has been granted to community organizations and charities. Money is donated for the betterment of the community within the outside service area boundaries of RLEC.
