Black Hills Cares improving life for those in need

How you can help
To give, check the box on your payment stub to indicate the donation of your choice.
- If you select the Round Up option, we’ll automatically round up your monthly bill to the next dollar and donate the difference.
- The recurring monthly donation is another great way you can help. Select a donation amount on your payment stub or write in an amount that fits your budget in the “Other” field.
- You can also make a one-time donation with your monthly bill payment. Just write in your donation amount in the “One-time” field on your payment stub.
- If you donate through Round Up or a recurring monthly amount, we’ll add that amount to your utility bill until you let us know to discontinue your enrollment. If at any time you want to stop your donation, call us at .
