Greensburg, IN — 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.”
One Southeastern Indiana recipient of a $25,000 grant is the Decatur County Community Foundation (DCCF). The foundation will use the grant on a project to create a memorial walking trail that will include learning and STEAM stations. Funds will be used to purchase trees native to Indiana, as well as items for a weather and music station.
