About the Communities First Fund

The PIE&G Communities First Fund has supported local organizations since 1998, funding vital projects for emergency responders, youth programs, and more.

You can help by rounding up your utility or fiber internet bill—a few cents a month can change lives! On average, members contribute only about 50 cents monthly, totaling around $6 each year, and every donation is tax-deductible.

Together, we can make a BIG difference—over $1.5 million has already been returned to northeast Michigan!
