The Touchstone Energy® Community Award acknowledges the efforts of those who have impacted numerous people, addressed unmet community needs or provided necessary services.

One winning organization will receive a $500 cash prize and will compete with winners from other electric cooperatives for statewide recognition and an additional $1,000 cash prize.

Any civic organization or non-profit in our service area is eligible to compete for the award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to our local communities.

Organizations are eligible to apply for the award themselves, or community members may apply on behalf of a deserving organization.

Applications for the award are now being accepted. If you have any questions, please contact Angela Lyseng at (218) 444-3689. Applications for 2021 will be available in October 2021.

Minnesota Touchstone Energy® cooperatives are part of a national alliance of more than 750 electric cooperatives in 46 states that adhere to the values of integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community.
