Community impact. Powered locally®
Powered with purpose
Hometown Throwdown is a Cenex giveback competition celebrating our local roots and the unique local festivals that form the heart of each community. Last year, we gave $150K to three festivals. In 2025, five lucky winners were crowned, with the grand prize winner receiving $100K!
Past initiatives
Cenex gives back to local communities—and we’ve been doing it for generations.
Hometown Pride
Through this program, philanthropic organizations and nonprofits were awarded $25,000 Cenex grants to build brighter futures in the communities we call home across the country.
Fields for Kids
In partnership with the Minnesota Twins, Cenex breathed new life into aging ball fields, enhancing community spirit and preserving beloved local traditions.
Positive Coaching Alliance
Cenex partnered with Positive Coaching Alliance to provide coaches in rural schools with training workshops to foster positive environments for young people to succeed on and off the field.
