Detroit-based DTE Energy has been named among the Points of Light Civic 50 - the top 50 companies nationally in corporate citizenship. DTE Energy was the only Michigan company to be awarded this honor and was also acknowledged as the leading energy company nationally.

The Civic 50 honorees are public and private companies with U.S. operations and revenues of $1 billion or more. They are selected based on four dimensions of their U.S. community engagement program:  investment, integration, institutionalization and impact.

"DTE Energy is passionate about being a Force for Growth in the communities where we live and serve, and this national award validates our efforts as we continue to make an impact through our work," Nancy Moody, vice president of public affairs, DTE Energy, shared in a company statement. "We recognize our role and the opportunity we have to lead as a corporate citizen who cares about its customers and look forward to building on our momentum for years to come."

The DTE Energy Foundation, a CMF member, primarily funds programs that align with the following six priority areas: arts and culture, community transformation, economic progress, education and employment, environmental progress and human needs. Their support has ranged from grants to food banks and field trips to the Michigan Science Center for Detroit public school students to community programming at Beacon Park and shoreline conservancy. In 2017 the Foundation supported 165 festivals and events throughout Michigan and partnered with nonprofits to support 650 summer jobs for young people as well as adult job training programs.
