Northeast Louisiana Power Cooperative launched its Operation RoundUp program in January of 2016 with the purpose of having a positive impact on the communities
within the seven parishes it serves. Through donations our members make by voluntarily rounding up their electric bills each month, grants totaling more than $500,000 have been awarded to local organizations for such things as educational scholarships, feeding and clothing those in need, supporting the arts, honoring our veterans, and much more.
In addition to grants offered to nonprofit organizations, Operation Round-Up has spent more than $80,000 to help deserving individuals and families facing a crisis, such as the loss of a home to fire.
