Grant proposals for community tree-planting projects are now being accepted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the 2022 DTE Energy Foundation partnership grant program. This program assists communities in DTE Energy’s service area with projects that reduce the effects of climate change and bring natural beauty and the benefits of trees to community streets and public spaces.
The DTE Foundation, DNR and nonprofit ReLeaf Michigan continue a legacy of tree planting in Michigan communities through the annual grant program. This year, a total of $100,000 is available in 1-to-1 matching grants of up to $4,000.
What began as partnership in 1996 has resulted in more than 20 million trees and $3.5 million in funding invested in Michigan forests and communities.
Grant funds are provided through the DTE Energy Foundation, the philanthropic arm of DTE Energy. The DNR and ReLeaf Michigan provide program administration, project coordination and technical assistance to partners for planting projects.
Grant awards will be announced in August, and projects must be completed by May 31, 2023.
