Iowa Network Services, Inc. (INS) is pleased to announce that an INS Charity Grant has been awarded to Main Street Elkader Cultural & Entertainment District Committee. Upon reviewing an abundance of applications, our INS Charity Grant Committee delegated funds to projects committed to the betterment of local Iowan communities. The grant was presented in conjunction with Alpine Communications who sponsored the grant application.
INS created the grant program in 1993 to increase service and support to rural independent telecommunications companies and the communities they serve. The INS Charity Grant Program awards grants on a quarterly basis. Over the course of twelve years, INS has donated over $850,000 to local communities and their surrounding areas. We believe in rewarding various organizations for their passion and dedication to advancing their own neighborhoods. Each proposal that is chosen by our Grant Committee reflects the organization’s enthusiasm for serving their communities. INS looks forward to aiding future community-improvement projects and extends our best wishes to your own community development.
