NCIRPC is a non-profit regional planning agency serving Cass, Clinton, Fulton, Howard, Miami and Tipton counties to build stronger local communities and regional economies by enhancing quality of life through community and regional development programs and services.
North Central Indiana Regional Planning Council Inc’s recent giving is dominated by large READI grants, including $3,500,000 to the City of Kokomo and $2,874,527 to Miami County Economic Development. Those awards point to a funder working through regional partners on community and economic development across north central Indiana. The organization serves Cass, Clinton, Fulton, Howard, Miami and Tipton counties, and its grantmaking also reaches city governments, county offices, utilities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations tied to local redevelopment and services. The scale of each award is substantial. In the recent grants list, the top checks extend well above $1 million, with multiple awards to local governments and development entities in the same region. Miami County Economic Development appears twice in the grant list, with awards in both 2024 and 2025, which suggests repeat support for the same local partner. Other large recipients include Tipton Municipal Utilities, City of Logansport, and City of Rochester, showing a focus on public-sector and place-based projects rather than individual giving or broad charitable distribution.
A central theme is regional economic development. The foundation gave $1,413,491 to the City of Logansport and $1,000,000 to the City of Rochester, both through READI grants, indicating support for local public projects tied to community growth. Transportation and infrastructure appear through awards such as $2,198,326 to Tipton Municipal Utilities and $933,778 to the Howard County Board of Commissioner. These grants sit alongside city and county recipients, pointing to a government-centered funding pattern. The foundation also supports education and community services. It awarded $606,646 to Ivy Tech Community College of In and $477,805 to Turning Point Soc Inc, then issued another $272,195 to Turning Point Soc Inc in 2025. Those repeated awards show support for organizations that serve residents through training or direct services. Environmental work is another active area through its EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant and related assessment services procurement for sites in Cass, Clinton and Fulton counties.
Grant sizes are large and tightly clustered. Typical awards are $740,418 at the 25th percentile, $880,867 at the median, and $977,011 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also includes multiple multimillion-dollar grants, showing that this is a high-dollar public grantmaker rather than a small-award fund. The same recipients can appear in more than one year: Miami County Economic Development received grants in both 2024 and 2025, and Turning Point Soc Inc also appears in both years. The foundation is a regional planning council, not an individual-funder vehicle, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
