Thanks for Giving Bill Credit

Operation Round Up® is just what its name implies. Operation Round Up® funds are generated through a voluntary rounding up of cooperative members’ electric bills to the nearest dollar. This change is used to assist worthy causes right here in our service area.

For those who opt to participate in the Operation Round Up® program, the rounding up results in an average donation of approximately $6 per year.

Thanks to the generosity of our cooperative members, nearly $100,000 has been given back to our local communities since the program’s inception in 2002. To show our gratitude this Thanksgiving, Oakdale Electric Cooperative will be randomly selecting 100 members that currently participate in Operation Round Up® to receive a $20.02 Thanks for Giving bill credit.

  • Members currently enrolled in Operation Round Up will be automatically entered for the Thanks for Giving bill credit.
  • Members not currently enrolled in Operation Round Up will need to enroll [by Tuesday, November 30 by 9 a.m.] in Operation Round Up to be entered into the Thanks for Giving bill credit.
  • Choose from the following enrollment options: 1. WEBSITE: www.oakdalerec.com > Member Benefits > Operation Round Up > Sign – Up 2. SMARTHUB: SmartHub App > Bill & Pay > Operation Round Up > Enroll

One hundred [100] winners will be randomly drawn on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 9 a.m., and those winning members will be notified by phone that same day. The $20.02 bill credit will be applied to the December 2021 billing statement. Employees, directors, as well as immediate family of Oakdale Electric Cooperative, are not eligible.

Oakdale Electric Cooperative rounds up the electric bills to the next highest dollar of participating members each month. The extra change is used to fund the program. For example, if the bill is $6.54, it is rounded up to $7.00 and the extra 46 cents is contributed.  

Contributions could be as little as a penny, but never more than 99 cents. The average annual donation is $6 and is tax deductible.

No. You must complete the Operation Sign-Up Form to participate in the program.

The Operation Round Up Trust Board of Directors is comprised of seven Oakdale Electric Cooperative members. They meet at least four times a year to review applications.

According to its bylaws, the Trust board may make donations to any worthwhile community cause, except for political purposes or to pay electric bills. The current mission statement of the Operation Round Up Trust allows for donations to be made for food, clothing, shelter, equipment, medical, and educational needs.

Donations may be made to any individual in need or any organization within the five counties served (Jackson, Juneau, Monroe, Sauk, Wood) by Oakdale Electric Cooperative.
