The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with the DTE Foundation and ReLeaf Michigan, is offering $100,000 in grant funding through the DTE Foundation Tree Planting Grant Program. This initiative supports community tree planting efforts across Michigan.
The DNR is now accepting applications for the 2025-26 grant cycle. The program provides financial assistance to communities served by DTE Energy’s electric and natural gas services. Grants are available to support projects that plant trees away from utility lines along streets, in parks and near schools – all of which can help to mitigate climate change, enhance local beauty and engage residents in environmental stewardship.
Since 1996, this grant program has been a joint effort between the DTE Foundation and the DNR’s Urban and Community Forestry program to improve communities and the environment through tree planting. ReLeaf Michigan, the only statewide nonprofit dedicated to tree planting and homeowner education, was added to the program to provide technical support to grantees and help ensure successful and sustainable tree planting efforts.
“At the DTE Foundation, we believe that real change takes root when communities come together,” said Rodney Cole, the foundation's president. “Tree planting is more than an environmental initiative; it’s a way to bring neighbors together, strengthen local pride and create healthier, more vibrant places to live.
“We’re proud to support this work alongside dedicated partners like the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and ReLeaf Michigan, whose efforts continue to strengthen our communities and protect the environment for future generations.”
Applicants can request up to $4,000 with a 1-to-1 matching requirement. Additionally:
