For the ninth consecutive year, NIPSCO is accepting applications for its Environmental Action Grant to support local nonprofit organizations with their environmental restoration and education projects throughout northern Indiana. "NIPSCO employees are dedicated to contributing to the communities we serve, and we look forward to launching this grant program every year," said Rick Calinski, NIPSCO Director of Public Affairs and Economic Development. "We are proud to support local organizations who are focused on improving our environment and providing educational opportunities surrounding this important topic." Since 2016, NIPSCO's Environmental Action Grant helped 124 projects come into fruition across northern Indiana. Last year, NIPSCO funded 15 diverse environmental restoration and education projects across the territory. The projects focused on Monarch butterflies, habitat restoration, youth outdoor nature education and sustainability programming.
