Announcing New Program Sponsors

Huron Pines AmeriCorps is pleased to announce two new sponsors. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which strives to increase community leadership, policy for social change and early childhood development, has committed $100,000 over the next two years.

The DTE Energy Foundation, which focuses on supporting community leadership projects that enhance the success of nonprofits, has pledged $50,000 over two years as well.


These generous grants will help fund the AmeriCorps program and enable Huron Pines to provide better services to our members and the public, including assistance with monitoring programs, invasive species removal projects, environmental education and engaging volunteers.

Huron Pines AmeriCorps is primarily funded by the Michigan Community Service Commission via a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service, along with support from the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan and contributions from Huron Pines and the host sites.
