This weekend United Power donated to Gilpin Axe and Snax, a non-profit organization that performs fire mitigation in Gilpin County and surrounding areas. Gilpin Axe and Snax and volunteers cut down trees that pose a hazard to homes and other buildings. As soon as the wood is processed, it is distributed free of charge to the community to help keep homes warm during the winter months.

A project sponsored by United Power was among those selected by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) to receive a grant from the more than $2 million awarded through the Microgrids for Community Resilience Grant Program.

In January 1995, United Power launched Operation Round Up. In 2015, the cooperative celebrated 20 years and $1.5 million in charitable grants distributed. And since its inception, the program has distributed more than $3 million in support. The Round Up Foundation is funded by our members who round up their monthly bills. 💵 Operation Round Up is an excellent example of how a little change can go a long way. Do you “round up?” It’s easy!
