Operation Round Up

Join Operation Round Up and Make a Big Impact with Small Change

At CHELCO, supporting our community goes beyond providing power—it’s part of who we are. Through Operation Round Up, thousands of our members are helping local non-profits by simply rounding up their monthly electric bills to the next dollar.

The average donation is roughly $6 per year, but together, these small contributions fund vital services like foster care, food programs, shelters, education, and recreation for people of all ages.

Joining is easy:

• Fill out this opt-in form or download it from the panel to the right.

• Download and email it to memberbilling@chelco.com

• Mail it in with your bill

• Or call us at 850-892-2111 or 800-342-0990

Every penny goes to those in need—be part of the change today.

How to request an Operation Round Up grant:

Non-profits with a 501(c)(3), (c)(4), or (c)(19) designation can apply for funding through our online grant application. Applications are reviewed monthly by the Operation Round Up Committee, with funds distributed up to two weeks after each meeting, based on availability and board-approved policies.

Grants may support causes such as:

• At-risk children
• Education and the arts
• Environmental programs
• Public health and safety
• Basic needs and community services

Operation Round Up does not fund:

•    Political or religious organizations
•    For-profit businesses
•    Fundraisers for individuals
•    School and youth sports programs. Due to the large number of requests we receive from schools and youth programs in our area, CHELCO cannot provide funding for school-affiliated programs. As much as we’d like to support each one, we must be selective in our giving to ensure fairness and sustainability.
