(Jackson, MN)--Federated Rural Electric of Jackson has announced the next deadline for Operation Round-Up grants is September 18th .
Operation Round Up involves 74 percent of Federated's members in Jackson and Martin Counties; they allow their monthly electric bills to be rounded up to the nearest dollar amount. The "rounded up" change goes into a trust fund. An independent Trust Board, which consists of Federated members, evaluates local funding requests and distributes the funds.
Since 1995 Federated's Trust Board has distributed more than $1 million to local organizations including schools, senior dining, hospice, fire/ambulance departments and high school scholarships.
The application form can be downloaded from Federated’s website: federatedrea.coop. You can also call Federated at 507-847-3520 or 1-800-321-3520 and ask for Andrea to request an application.
