Flathead Electric Co-op’s member giving program this spring exceeded $5 million in contributions.

In 1997, Flathead Electric Cooperative doubled down on its guiding business principle of “concern for community” and launched a program to improve safety in its service area. The co-op dubbed it Roundup for Safety and appointed a board to get the program off the ground.

Next, cooperative members volunteered to allow their electric bills to be rounded up to support community safety projects. For example, a bill of $55.01 or $55.99 is rounded up to $56. Over each year, most members end up contributing about $6 to Roundup for Safety.
