About the Touchstone Energy Community Award

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.

Minnesota Touchstone Energy® cooperatives are part of a national alliance of more than 700 local, consumer-owned electric cooperatives in 46 states dedicated to the values of integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community. Nearly all of Minnesota's 44 distribution cooperatives in Minnesota are part of the national brand, Touchstone Energy®.
