The Round Up Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life in our communities. For 30 years, LPEA members have voluntarily “rounded up” their electric bills to the nearest dollar, raising more than $1.5 million for nonprofits in La Plata and Archuleta counties. So far this year, the board has awarded more than $59,000 in grants.
The Round Up Foundation Board also oversees the distribution of grants funded by unclaimed capital credits to support educational and community projects across our service territory.
