January 2023 Operation Round Up donations

Tipmont distributed nearly $10,000 in grants from its Operation Round Up programs in January to fund renovations at a women’s facility and provide new volunteer firefighter equipment.

Operation Round Up

In Operation Round Up, you round up your monthly Tipmont electric bill to the nearest dollar. Your tax-deductible average annual contribution of $6 benefits such area nonprofit efforts as:

  • Kitchen cabinets and countertops for food preparation and safety skills courses at Through the Gate, a Crawfordsville facility assisting women with rebuilding their lives after hardship. These courses will promote personal nutrition, mental wellness, togetherness for families and potential job skills.
  • A new water pump for the Hillsboro Volunteer Fire Department to replace one that’s at least 30 years old to help the department more effectively extinguish wildland fires

Away from the office, you’ll find Rob working on his golf swing, jump shot, or hope for a Purdue basketball national title – all futile endeavors.
