Town & Country was honored with two prestigious awards at the Annual Dakota Credit Union Association (DakCU) Summit Awards Banquet, recognizing the commitment credit unions have to community impact and innovative member engagement.
Town & Country received both the 2025 Social Impact Award and the 2025 Social Media Campaign Award, highlighting the organization’s dedication to improving lives across North Dakota while creating meaningful connections with members through strategic communication efforts.
The Social Impact Award recognizes credit unions and individuals whose contributions have significantly strengthened communities and improved lives. Credit unions nominated for the award must consistently demonstrate compassion and service through volunteerism, community outreach, partnerships, and support for local organizations.
Town & Country was selected as the North Dakota Credit Union winner after demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to community impact throughout 2025. Employees contributed more than 4,700 volunteer hours during the year, supporting organizations and initiatives across the state. One standout effort included CU Kind Day, where 124 employees volunteered with 15 nonprofit organizations in a single day of service dedicated to giving back to local communities.
The credit union’s community partnerships and outreach efforts supported organizations, including the YMCA, Great Plains Food Bank, Sanford Health Micropreemie Unit, and United Way. Additional initiatives included scholarships, youth financial education programs, small business grants, and assistance programs for furloughed federal employees.
In addition to the Social Impact Award, Town & Country Credit Union also earned the 2025 Social Media Campaign Award as part of the DakCU Marketing & Communications Awards for credit unions with assets of $126 million or more. The DakCU Marketing & Communications Awards recognize credit unions for excellence in public relations, branding, member communication, and innovative marketing strategies that strengthen awareness of the credit union difference.

In addition to Town & Country’s individual honors, the Credit Unions United Chapter of Minot, of which Town & Country is a member, was recognized and received the Chapter of the Year Award. This award recognizes outstanding achievements in advocacy, communication, education, and community involvement among credit union chapters in North Dakota and South Dakota. The chapter was honored for its strong commitment to the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” through volunteerism, educational opportunities, advocacy initiatives, and partnerships with local nonprofit organizations.
These awards celebrate credit unions that successfully connect with members while making a lasting impact in their communities. These recognitions reflect Town & Country’s continued commitment to the credit union philosophy of people helping people through service, education, outreach, and community involvement across North Dakota.
