The Berrien Community Foundation has announced applications are now available for the next round of Heart of Cook grants.

The Heart of Cook is a grant program funded by Indiana Michigan Power’s Cook Nuclear Plant and administered by Berrien Community Foundation to help non-profits in Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana. Environmental protection, human services, and educational projects are the focus areas of the grant program.

The grant review committee, comprised of Cook Nuclear Plant employees, gives special consideration to projects that involve I&M employees.

Since it was started, the Heart of Cook program has given out more than $1 million to non-profits all over the region.

Grant applications and guidelines are available at the Berrien Community Foundation’s website and must be submitted by July 1.

The recipients of the next Heart of Cook grants will be announced in August.
