MARSHALL COUNTY, Ind. -- – The Wahoo Solar Project, a project developed by Geenex, is announced the recipients of its 2025 first-quarter community grant program, in addition to the $8,000 awarded to local schools, businesses, and nonprofits through the county's Rebuild and Recover Grant Program to support recovery efforts following the tornadoes that struck southwestern Marshall County in April.

Wahoo officials say over $10,000 was given to seven local organizations.

“At Wahoo Solar, being a good neighbor means actively investing in the success of our community," said Cassidy Book, Director of Community Relations for the Wahoo Solar Project. "Through our community grant program, we proudly support local organizations that drive meaningful change to ensure they have the resources to grow, innovate, and make a lasting impact in Marshall County and beyond.”

Grant recipients include:

• Wild Rose Moon Performing Arts Center - a nonprofit listening room, production house, and educational center serving Northern Indiana. They are a partner in the educational, economic and cultural development in the community and inspire through the arts.
• David’s Courage - helps those struggling with addiction in a safe and supportive environment.
• The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ - strive to emulate the life of Saint Katharina Kasper. Rooted in upholding social justice, the non-profit organization provides compassionate care for the sick and underprivileged and fosters empowerment among individuals and community.
• The Agriculture Program at Marian University's Ancilla College - prepares students for careers in various agriculture-related fields, specializing in agricultural business, animal science, technology applications, and biotechnology.
• Plymouth Fire Department - provides 24-hour emergency protection by their dedicated professionals, including paramedic-level care.
• Link to Hope - a faith-based, non-profit, United Way Agency, helping those in need with rental assistance, prescription assistance, utility costs, transportation, among other needs.
• The North Central CTE Cooperative - Ten schools in four counties in Indiana – each offering CTE programs. Students learn how to maximize their potential and develop academic, technical, and employability skills they can apply right away in a job.

Wahoo has been part of the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce since 2024 and the Bremen Chamber of Commerce as of this year.

Officials say the project provides quarterly funding through its Community Grant Program to foster strong connections and support local growth.

This initiative aims to support local nonprofits dedicated to improving the lives of Marshall County residents by assisting with operational expenses and other essential needs, including addiction support services, improved facilities for fire and rescue personnel, and workforce education opportunities.
