Small Change makes a big difference

Operation Round Up

By itself, your spare change doesn’t make much of a difference. However, when you combine it with thousands of other Tipmont members, it can change our communities for the better. That’s the power of Operation Round Up through Tipmont.

Since 1999, we have made over 650 grants totaling over $1.2 million dollars!

Rounding Up

How It Works

When you choose to sign up for Operation Round Up, your electric bill is rounded up to the nearest whole dollar each month.

For example, a bill of $74.25 would become $75. The $0.75 difference is placed into the Operation Round Up trust fund. The average total contribution each year is about $6 and is tax-deductible.

It seems pretty small, but what a difference all the contributions add up to!
