SVEC’s Operation Round Up Committee finished charitable giving for the year by awarding $30,000 across 17 organizations throughout the Valley.
Grant funding builds as co-op members voluntarily round up their electric bills each month, supplemented by a corporate contribution approved by SVEC’s board of directors. Since the program began in 2018, nearly $325,000 in grants have been distributed.
Applications for the first round of 2025 giving are now available online, and due Tuesday, Jan. 28. Learn more here.
