In October, members in districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, or 9 are eligible to run for our Community Trust Fund Board of Trustees. The CTF board is a five-member board, separate from the Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative board, that reviews all the Operation Round Up grant applications quarterly and approves applications for assistance, based on demonstrated need and funds available.

Operation Round Up is a program which rounds up participating member’s bills to the nearest dollar then combines those small amounts to provide grants to local organizations and individuals in need. The funds have helped support our local communities in the 10 counties served by Hancock-Wood Electric since 2008.

The board is responsible for reviewing applications prior to their quarterly meetings on the third Monday of February, May, August, and November and attend four board meetings per year.
