Operation Round-up
Operation
Round-Up is a voluntary program which rounds up your electric
bill to the nearest dollar amount. The money received from this
program is used to provide educational scholarships to students
located in the service area of PKM who are members of the cooperative
or the spouse or children of members. Applicants for funding must
be planning to attend an accredited post-secondary educational
institution in pursuit of their initial post-secondary degree.
These institutions could include technical colleges, universities
or colleges. Applicants can include high school seniors, college
students or non-traditional students.
How the program
works:
- PKM will
round up electric bills of participating members to the next
dollar. (Ex. If your bill is $41.70, it would be "rounded up"
to $42.00)
- Your maximum
contribution per year could be $11.88, but generally will be
less than that, averaging $6.00 per year.
- Your contribution
is tax deductible.
- The trust
fund is administered by the PKM Electric Cooperative Trust Board.
By joining
this program you are continuing the "neighbor helping neighbor"
concept that founded PKM years ago. If you decide to participate
in this program, thank you.
