NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Nicor Gas is offering $100,000 in diversity grants to support community organizations and non-profits that promote diversity and inclusive opportunities. The program aims to address discrimination based on race, national origin, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, and physical disabilities.
