Northern Indiana Public Service Company LLC (NIPSCO) and the NiSource Charitable Foundation have announced that 25 local nonprofit organizations have been chosen to receive a 2026 Environmental Action Grant.
This annual program supports local environmental restoration and education projects and programs by providing a grant of up to $5,000 to each recipient.
The organizations were chosen through a competitive process during which nonprofits submitted applications for specific community-based environmental projects that were reviewed and scored by a selection committee. In the program’s 11-year history in Indiana, NIPSCO has awarded more than $824,000 to support nearly 200 projects.
“This is an exciting and forward-thinking opportunity for us to back innovative ideas that will bring about positive and lasting environmental change,” said Rick Calinski, director of public affairs and economic development at NIPSCO. “Also, we do not view these grants as one-time awards, but as the start of ongoing partnerships with each and every selected organization.”
