BRAINERD — Crow Wing Power announced its Operation Round Up program has surpassed $5 million in total grant funding awarded to community organizations since the program began in 1996.

The milestone reflects the cooperative’s long-standing commitment to supporting the people and communities it serves, Crow Wing Power reported in a news release.

Operation Round Up is a voluntary program in which Crow Wing Power members choose to round up their monthly electric bills to the nearest dollar. The average member contribution is approximately 50 cents per month, or $6 per year. These small, collective contributions are pooled and distributed as grants to local nonprofits and community organizations that enhance the quality of life within Crow Wing Power’s service territory.
