Tipmont REMC awards grants to area nonprofits

Grants from a local electric cooperative will help two Tippecanoe County non-profits improve their programs.

Tipmont REMC is providing the funds through its Operation Roundup program, which asks customers to round up their bills to the next highest dollar with the money designated to support community projects.

Wabash Center will use a roughly $4,000 grant to purchase laptop computers to be used in the field by residential services staff.

And Habitat for Humanity of Lafayette will use $1,900 to buy a point-of-purchase system for its Habitat ReStore on Fortune Drive in Lafayette.

More than $12,000 in grants was awarded this allocation cycle.

Since Tipmont launched Operation Round Up in 1999, it has awarded 433 grants totaling more than $882,000.
