The Trust gave $16,154 to 21 non-profit organizations in CPI’s service area in 2011.
In 2011, the Consumers Power Charitable Trust gave $16,154 thanks to CPI members and employees who give to the Trust through Operation Round Up. As a result, numerous nonprofit organizations around our communities were recipients of funding for their programs.
The difference goes into the Charitable Trust. Participants give an average of $6 a year when their bill is rounded up. Contributions are tax deductible and are shown on your January electric bill. Just return the coupon on the back of this brochure to sign up.
Since 1993, when the program was started at CPI, $252,387 has been given to non-profit organizations serving needs in CPI's service area and to individuals. A nine member volunteer committee of CPI members meets three times a year to review applications to the Trust and make funding decisions.
