As we wrap up our 2020 Membership Drive, we are filled with gratitude for all of our member donors who were able to give to support our mission of advancing the clean energy transition.

2020 was WED’s tenth birthday so this membership season was extra special. Thank you to all of you who have been members since the beginning, to all of our new members, and who give when you can!

Your support has been essential to the work of the Winneshiek Energy District. While we can get grants to support our different programs, your donations keep the LED lights on at the office, pay for the Green Iowa Americorps program, and more. Each year, we multiply your donation by leveraging your support through successful grant applications.

To celebrate our 10th year, we created a document that tells our story and highlights all that we’ve been able to accomplish together.

We have big plans for 2021 and the next ten years and we’re looking forward to continuing to earn your support!

Kristin Eggen first came to the Winneshiek Energy District as a Green Iowa AmeriCorps member in 2015. Eight years later, she is thrilled to lead the grassroots clean energy movement in Winneshiek County. Kristin deeply appreciates rural communities, Northeast Iowa, community sustainability, and nonprofit management. She uses The Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter methodology and graphic recording services to drive strategic conversations around community sustainability, justice, fundraising, and nonprofit health.
