Roundup for Safety

---

Flathead Electric Cooperative developed the Roundup for Safety Program to help identify and fix safety hazards in our neighborhood by awarding grants to non-profit organizations to help pay for these life-safety projects throughout our entire service territory.

How does it work?

Roundup for Safety is a voluntary program funded by participating members who “round up” their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar with the extra money going into a fund for community safety projects. The average cost for each participating member is only about $8 per year, yet it makes a huge impact on our community. Since 1997, the Roundup for Safety program has awarded more than $3,500,000 to organizations supporting over 1,000 projects.

Roundup your Bill

If you are a member of Flathead Electric not currently participating in Roundup for Safety, please sign up with the online Roundup for Safety Member Enrollment form or call  406-751-4483 to sign up.

Apply for a Grant

As of July 1, all applications for Roundup for Safety funds should be submitted online. Paper applications will no longer be accepted.

Application Deadline: The deadline for applications to be reviewed and considered at each month’s Roundup for Safety Board meeting is the last day of the prior month (meetings are typically held the second Thursday of each month). Applications submitted later than the last day of the month will be considered at the next meeting. (E.g. an application submitted by January 31 will be considered at the February Board meeting; an application submitted on February 1 will be considered at the March board meeting.)

Roundup for Safety Board

Roundup for Safety has a board of directors to evaluate applications and award grants. The Directors typically meet at the Co-op on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m., but the meeting is subject to change to accommodate schedules, so if you are planning to attend, it’s best to call ahead.
