RoundUp For Change

Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative members can opt to enroll in the voluntary Roundup for Change program. In this program, your utility bill will “round up” to the next highest dollar amount. This small contribution may seem like only pennies a month, but the dollars add up quickly when many members participate.

Member Contribution

The average contribution per program participant is just $6.00 per year, however an estimated $20,000 will be raised each year and awarded by Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative (AVECC) to AVECC Members with the greatest need.

How It Works

The RoundUp for Change program works like this: Arkansas Valley Electric will round up utility bills of participating members to the next dollar. For example, if your bill were $41.70, it would be “rounded up” to $42. Your maximum contribution per year could be $11.88, but generally will be less than that, averaging $6 per year. By joining this program, you are continuing the “neighbor helping neighbor” concept that Arkansas Valley Electric was founded on.

Use of Funds

Funds are specifically designated to provide financial assistance for bill relief to AVECC Members experiencing significant financial hardship. 

Eligibility requires members to demonstrate an urgent need for assistance specifically applied to a residential electric bill. This focused allocation ensures that RoundUp for Change resources are directed toward members facing the most challenging circumstances.
