![]() DTE Foundation Makes Gift to Community Foundation For COVID Response The DTE Foundation is supporting local COVID-19 response and recovery with a $25,000 gift to Fremont Area Community Foundation. The gift will support relief efforts in Newaygo County as well as Lake, Mecosta, and Osceola counties, which are served by the Community Foundation’s three affiliates. “We are grateful for DTE’s commitment to giving back and caring for their larger community,” said Carla Roberts, president and CEO of Fremont Area Community Foundation. “Their generous gift will allow us to address urgent needs and provide support for the organizations serving our most vulnerable neighbors. These times call for all of us to work together and we are grateful for partners like the DTE Foundation who step forward to lead by example.” The DTE Foundation is the philanthropic arm of DTE Energy, an electric and natural gas utility company that serves millions of customers in Michigan. In 2019, they provided grant support to hundreds of nonprofit organizations throughout the company’s service territories. Their donation to the Community Foundation will provide support to organizations on the front lines of response, meet urgent needs, and prepare for long-term recovery efforts. The Community Response Fund at the Community Foundation has awarded $294,135 to a variety of organizations addressing issues including food insecurity, childcare, and mental healthcare. United Way of the Lakeshore-Newaygo County has also partnered with the Community Foundation on the fund.
