FAQ

Con­tri­bu­tions to Oper­a­tion Round Up are tax deductible. In Jan­u­ary and Feb­ru­ary, your util­i­ty bill will have a sum­ma­ry of the con­tri­bu­tions you made to Oper­a­tion Round Up dur­ing the pre­vi­ous year.

Oper­a­tion Round Up is a vol­un­tary con­tri­bu­tion on your elec­tric bill which adds a few pen­nies each month. The most you could ever donate in a year would be $12, but most mem­bers’ dona­tions are around $6 per year. These pen­nies are added togeth­er from all our par­tic­i­pat­ing mem­bers, and York Elec­tric’s Trust Board makes grants to non-prof­it agen­cies who are serv­ing needs in our com­mu­ni­ty. Since 2000, York Elec­tric’s mem­bers have raised approx­i­mate­ly $2.3 mil­lion, and we now have 62% mem­ber par­tic­i­pa­tion.

We make it easy. Sign up by call­ing our mem­ber ser­vices depart­ment at 803–684‑4248, and we’ll sim­ply round your elec­tric bill up to the next high­est dol­lar each month. The extra change — an aver­age of only 50 cents a month or $6 a year — is your con­tri­bu­tion to the pro­gram. If you wish to dis­con­tin­ue your con­tri­bu­tions at any time, sim­ply con­tact YEC.

After each quar­ter­ly meet­ing, our web­site is updat­ed with the cur­rent dis­po­si­tion state­ment. Also, we peri­od­i­cal­ly pub­lish updates about Oper­a­tion Round Up in South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine.
