NIPSCO, NiSource Charitable Foundation Announce Environmental Action Grant Recipients

Merrillville-based Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) along with the NiSource Charitable Foundation has announced the winners of its 2025 Environmental Action Grant. The
annual grant program awarded 23 local nonprofit organizations to help fund environmental projects and programming across NIPSCO’s service area. Now in its 10th year, the grant program has provided about $700,000 in funding support for nearly 170 projects with an emphasis on environmental education and restoration across northern Indiana, including helping and protecting pollinators and restoration of wetlands habitat. This year’s recipient organizations, selected by a review committee, will each receive a grant between $500 and $5,000 to further their missions. In addition, the news release said an expanded grant for Monarch Joint Venture will support expansion and enhancement of pollinator habitats across multiple public lands and publicly accessible areas in NIPSCO’s northern Indiana territory, and in conjunction with funding, volunteer efforts will include planting about 150-200 native plant and milkweed plugs at Pisgah Marsh in northeast Indiana.
