Touchstone Energy Community Award
Every year Dakota Electric provides three Touchstone Energy Community Awards to nonprofit groups, community organizations and businesses that have shown a strong commitment to their community.
The award acknowledges the efforts of those who have impacted numerous people, addressed unmet community needs or provided necessary services.
Each winner receives a check for $500, and one recipient is chosen to contend against other award winners from across the state for a cash prize of $2,000. The statewide award winner is recognized at the Minnesota Rural Electric Association’s annual meeting in February or March.
