The Duke Energy Foundation has awarded 19 “Powerful Communities” program grants in Indiana totaling more than $235,000 for important environmental programs to support water quality, conservation, and habitat and forest restoration.
“We are proud to support these organizations, which work so faithfully to maintain and improve our natural environment,” said Stan Pinegar, Duke Energy state president for Indiana. “Many of these programs provide benefits beyond the local community.”
Indiana University’s Environmental Resilience Institute (ERI) was awarded $10,000 to launch the 2021 Resilience Cohort to bring together local government staff and partners to advance local capacity and produce greenhouse gas inventories for up to six communities in Duke Energy’s Indiana service territory.
