Minnkota, employees participate in Giving Hearts Day

Every February, Minnkota Power Cooperative employees celebrate Giving Hearts Day by giving back to our communities. Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour fundraising event in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota that provides a platform for charities to fund their missions. Every dollar donated during the online drive (held Feb. 12 this year) is matched, doubling the impact for more than 600 local charities.

This year, Minnkota’s employee giving program, Minnkota Cares, donated $500 to each of the following causes:

• Grand Forks Senior Center
• Grand Forks Public Library Foundation
• Global Friends Coalition
• Cystic Fibrosis Association of North Dakota
• Salvation Army Bismarck-Mandan
• American Heroes Outdoors
• American Foundation for Suicide Prevention North Dakota Chapter
• NEXUS – PATH Healing (Foster Care Program)
• Good Samaritan Society – Park River
• Bis-Man Mentor Squad

Minnkota also provided corporate donations to the following organizations:

• Community Violence Intervention Center (in collaboration with Nodak Electric Cooperative) – $3,500 each
• Grand Forks Public Library Foundation – $500

Thank you to all employees who opened their hearts and wallets for this opportunity to strengthen our communities!
