Our 2012 United Way campaign celebrated how Xcel Energy employees and retirees "Live United" and raised more than $2.8 million for 180 United Ways. With Xcel Energy’s company match, we’ll invest more than $5.5 million in communities large and small across our service territory.

The employees and retirees of Xcel Energy are recognized nationally as leaders in corporate citizenship.

Spirit of America Award from the United Way of America

United Way of America in 2007 presented Xcel Energy with the agency’s national accolade-- the 20th annual Spirit of America Award to recognize the Company’s commitment to community improvement. Dick Kelly, chairman, president and CEO, accepted the award at the 2007 United Way Staff Leaders Conference in Pittsburgh, Penn.

''Xcel Energy exemplifies United Way’s Spirit of America principle of community engagement in every sense, from its efforts to engage young people through its Energy Classroom and Virtual Power Plant Tour initiatives, to its dollar-for-dollar match of employee contributions,'' said Brian Gallagher, president and CEO, United Way of America.

The Spirit of America Award is awarded annually to the company that outshines all others in four areas: corporate community investment, employee community investment, community leadership, and employee community engagement.
