Minnesota Keystone Recognition Program
The Minnesota Keystone Program recognizes and honors companies that donate at least 2% of their pre-tax earnings to the community.
Over 30 years ago, 23 Minnesota companies created this program (originally known as "The 5% Club") to recognize and encourage charitable giving and to set an example for their business colleagues. The commitment of Keystone participants continues to sustain Minnesota’s spirit of generosity and sense of community, two fundamentals in our reputation for a high quality of life.

Annual Recognition Luncheon
The 2008 Minnesota Keystone Program will honor three companies this year on December 4. Companies will be selected based on employee size, number of years in Keystone and quality of their giving programs.
The honorees will be announced at the annual Keystone Recognition Luncheon later in December. The Luncheon usually draws at least 500 attendees and features presentations from the honored companies CEO’s, plus a video presentation that epitomizes the Keystone spirit of giving.
