What is Pioneer Electric Area Roundup (PEAR)?
A. The PEAR program is a charitable organization with over 350 electric cooperatives participating. It rounds up your bill to the next dollar and that money is dispersed to local charities in our service territory. An exciting new program called the Pioneer Electric Area Roundup (PEAR) has been launched to benefit people in southwest Kansas through the use of spare change. PEAR is a non-profit initiative that encourages Pioneer Electric members to respond to community needs by rounding up their electric bill to the nearest dollar. The extra change goes into the PEAR fund and is distributed to organizations and individuals in support of worthy causes.
