Operation Round Up is funded by donations made by members of MiEnergy Cooperative who voluntarily have their electric bill rounded up to the next dollar.

The Operation Round Up Trust Board chooses where the funds get donated and the amount of the donation based on an application process. The trust board members are: Neil Broadwater, Winona, Minn.; Janelle Mahr, Lime Springs, Iowa,; Larry Hafner, La Crescent, Minn.; Allen Hanson, Preston, Minn.; Margaret Knutson, Houston, Minn.; Roy Kryzer, Lewiston, Minn., Shannon Schmelzer, Cresco, Iowa; and Perry-O Sliwa, Decorah, Iowa.
