So if you went into a store and they asked you if you wanted to round up for a charity do you ? I have an electric co-op that asks people if they want to round up on thier bill for charity.When do you round up and why ? or do you not do it and why ?

Make a late payment to that coop and see if they charge you a late fee!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I have a question, does the company that “rounds you up” send the charity a big check at the end of the month and then take the deduction at the end of the year for the donations?

No. I tell them I'd prefer to round down if not too inconvenient.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I really don't know. I assumed it was going for a program within the company that helped people with their electric bill. I do know awhile back they was giving away led bulbs if you would bring them your old one, I don't know who was picking up that tab. I think they had a insulation thing and a big water heater discount too. I have no idea where that money was being funded from. I remember several years ago they was preaching conserving energy and insulating to the hilt. Then two years later that give us a big rate increase because they were not using enough electricity to get a discount from their supplier. So I guess saving electricity we just cut our own throats, well at least cut our own cash reserves. But we was helping Gretta when she was just a toddler and look at her now!
