Investing in Vermillion County

Brouilletts Creek Solar Community Grant Program

At Brouilletts Creek Solar, we know a project is only as strong as the community behind it. That’s why we made it a priority to support Vermillion County long before construction begins.

So far, we’ve invested more than $95,000 into local groups that are already doing the hard work to make this a better place to live. These aren’t big national programs. They are neighbors helping neighbors. They are teachers, firefighters, volunteers, and parents who are stepping up for the next generation.

We’ve helped fund robotics programs in our schools, safety gear for first responders, trail improvements, and basic needs for families facing tough times. From back-to-school kits to holiday gifts to classroom support, every dollar is staying right here.

This is what it means to build a project that belongs to the community. Not just clean energy, but real investment in the people who call this place home.
