Tri-Energy Cooperative b a partnership with the Bismarck Public Schools Foundation in the 2021/22 school year called Gallons of Gratitude. This program is meant to recognize the excellence of our teachers despite the ongoing challenges they face.  For every fill up at Cenex-branded fuel stations, a portion of the transaction will go to support our teachers’ supply and educational experience budgets for their classrooms.  During the first year alone, Tri-Energy Cooperative provided $250,000 to local public-school foundations in Bismarck, Mandan and Dickinson. Locally, this donation will enable the BPS Foundation to provide $140 in reimbursements so that over 1000 BPS teachers may enhance the learning within their classrooms.
