Serving the community is of utmost importance, however, due to the financial effects caused by COVID-19, we are unable to process unsolicited requests for sponsorships at this time.

IID contributes to the betterment of the communities it serves through contributions for public purposes within the scope of its jurisdiction.

3. Matters pertaining to the energy operations of the district

The district may only make contributions for public purposes within the jurisdiction of the district.
