K-12 schools in DTE or Consumers service areas STEM, CS, Energy Education Annual; check utility websites Private Utility Foundation DTE Energy Foundation and Consumers Energy Foundation are two of the most active STEM education funders in Michigan. DTE Energy serves Southeast Michigan, including Detroit and suburbs. Consumers Energy serves much of rural and mid-Michigan.
Awards typically range from $5,000 to $75,000. Schools should apply to the utility that serves their area. Energy education and environmental science components can strengthen a proposal to either funder.
These grants are well-suited for physical computing equipment, coding curriculum, and teacher professional development.
