Brouilletts Creek Solar Community Grant Program

The Brouilletts Creek Solar Community Grant Program is an initiative led by Apex Clean Energy through its Brouilletts Creek Solar project, designed to foster strong partnerships with local communities in Vermillion County, Indiana. This grant program exemplifies the organization’s commitment to supporting local priorities through responsive funding, having awarded over $96,287.49 across 61 grants since its inception. These grants have supported a diverse array of local initiatives, including public health services, educational enrichment, youth activities, and public beautification efforts. The program’s approach emphasizes listening to community needs and ensuring that investments reflect the priorities and values of Vermillion County residents. The current grant round, open for applications until September 30, 2025, provides financial support to projects aligning with one or more of four key impact areas: Safe and Healthy Communities, Economic Development, Environmental Sustainability, and Education. These focus areas are designed to encompass public safety and wellness, local economic growth, environmental stewardship, and academic advancement, particularly in STEM. The program welcomes both new and returning applicants with compelling proposals that illustrate community impact and local relevance. Organizations applying for funding must demonstrate their eligibility by holding proper tax identification and qualifying nonprofit status. Individual applicants are not eligible. Applications must be submitted via the online portal or through email/mail using the downloadable form. Required application materials include detailed organizational background, a project description with a budget, the specific use of funds, and leadership contacts. Supporting documentation such as a tax-exempt letter from the IRS is also mandatory. The application may be accompanied by a narrative attachment if additional space is needed. Grant awards range from $500 to $5,000 and are evaluated based on their potential to make a meaningful, positive difference in the community. Priority is given to projects that are well-aligned with the program’s objectives and present clear, measurable benefits. Funding decisions are made at the discretion of Brouilletts Creek Solar, with the possibility of early disbursement if a project’s urgency warrants it. In-kind donations may also be considered for qualifying requests. Recipients are required to submit a follow-up report within three months post-event or within a year of receiving funds, detailing outcomes and community impact. While the program does not operate on a fixed annual calendar, it is conducted on a recurring basis and accepts applications on a quarterly basis. However, the September 30, 2025 deadline applies to the current round. Applicants are advised that the review and approval process may take up to six weeks. The grant also offers opportunities for Apex Clean Energy staff to engage through volunteer participation in funded projects, reinforcing the company’s commitment to local involvement.
