MDU Resources Foundation donates $100,000 to celebrate MDU Resources’ 100th anniversary

10 nonprofits from five states selected to each receive a $10,000 grant

To celebrate MDU Resources’ 100th anniversary, the MDU Resources Foundation is donating $100,000 to charities in communities where the company operates. This amount is in addition to the foundation’s nearly $1.8 million scheduled grants for 2024. And to broaden the impact, 10 charities will each receive a $10,000 donation.

“Rolland Heskett founded MDU Resources in 1924 on the value of ‘when communities thrive, we thrive,’” said Nicole Kivisto, president and CEO of MDU Resources. “One hundred years later, the company still embodies this value, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate our 100th anniversary than by supporting charities that help make our communities better places to live.”

Employees with MDU Resources companies were invited to nominate their favorite charity to be considered for one of the grants.

The 10 nonprofits selected to receive a $10,000 grant are located in five states and include:

• North Dakota
  • Central Dakota Humane Society, Mandan
  • Inspiring Minds, Bismarck
  • Lake Region Corporation, Devils Lake
  • Western North Dakota Honor Flight, Bismarck
• Montana
  • Glendive Community Cancer Fund, Glendive
  • Montana Supporting Military, Helena
  • Mount Olive Lutheran School, Billings
• Idaho
  • Pocatello Free Clinic, Pocatello
• Washington
  • Kitsap Humane Society, Silverdale
• Wyoming
  • Polestar Outdoors, Cody

“These grants are special, not just because they commemorate MDU Resources’ 100th anniversary, but also because our employees had a role in the selection process,” said Cory Fong, president and director of the MDU Resources Foundation. “These grants reflect our employees’ community spirit and generosity.”
