NIPCO 2025 Matching Donation Program

NIPCO's annual Matching Donations Program was developed to support worthwhile civic and charitable projects and organizations making an impact in the communities our member cooperatives serve. NIPCO matches cash donations of $50 or more, or forty or more service hours per Class A Member Cooperative employee or director, each year to qualifying organizations.

As an extra incentive to participate in the program, all participants are entered into a drawing to receive one (1) of two (2) additional donations of $250 to be awarded to the charity they contributed to during that year's program.

In 2024, thirty individuals contributed more than 600 service hours and nearly $4,000 in cash donations to charitable organizations providing services throughout western Iowa communities. NIPCO's matches contributed an additional $1,900 to these 30 organizations.

Participants of the annual program are entered into a drawing to receive an additional $250 for their chosen charity. Here, previous winners of the bonus $250 donation, WIMECA-Aurelia Utilities Director Dave Johnson and his wife, Sue, present a check to Dustin Wieland of the Aurelia Fire Department.

Four values —Innovation, Accountability, Integrity, and Commitment to Community — are the foundation of every Touchstone Energy® cooperative's service to its members. These values represent the cooperative advantage and how Touchstone Energy cooperatives earn the trust of millions of people every day.

Thank you to those who have taken a leadership role in investing in their communities through the generous donation of time, energy, and resources. There is still time to submit your matching donation claim to participate in the 2025 program.
