Social responsibility


Basin Electric and its subsidiaries are committed to the communities where our people and members work and live. Those communities have supported us throughout the years by providing a strong workforce, essential services, and a sense of pride.

In appreciation for that support, Basin Electric expresses its cooperative spirit by extending a helping hand to our members and communities by donating time and funds to educational, charitable, fine arts, and medical organizations.

Commitment to community campaign

Commitment to community is part of what being a cooperative is all about. That's why Basin Electric employees take great pride in supporting United Way and other local charities each year through an employee fundraising campaign. In 2024, Basin Electric donated $140,765 through the Commitment to Community Campaign.

Casual for a Cause and Jeans Days

Through its annual Casual for a Cause campaign, Basin Electric employees make a substantial donation to designated local charities. Since the program's inception, more than $250,000 has been raised, benefitting many organizations in the community. Employees make contributions to the cause and are allowed to wear jeans to work each day. Employees also have the option to donate and dress casually on Fridays through the Jeans Day program.
