Round Up Program
Round Up to the nearest dollar on your bill makes it simple to donate to members in need. You’d be surprised how quickly those pennies add up to make a difference!
When you enroll in the Round Up program:
- Your monthly bill is automatically rounded up to the next nearest dollar
- Or, you can choose to make a one-time donation or a fixed monthly donation of an amount that you choose
To Enroll

- Log into your account on SmartHub, and choose “Round Up” from the menu on the left.
- Or contact us at (541) 354-1233 or email our billing department for assistance setting up a donation.
If you later decide you are unable to contribute, you can unenroll from the program at any time.
