Planet Detroit Partners

Join the organizations building a more sustainable Metro Detroit

Planet Detroit's partners are the businesses, institutions, and nonprofits powering a healthier, more resilient region. When you partner with us, you stand alongside the organizations doing this work — and connect with the community that cares most about it.

Why Partner

Your partnership sustains the journalism — and puts you in the room

Planet Detroit partners don't just support independent environmental journalism. They join a visible community of organizations committed to sustainability, public health, and equity across Metro Detroit. Two partnership tiers offer different levels of visibility and engagement — but every partner helps keep our coverage free, accessible, and independent.

Editorial independence, always

Our reporting is never influenced by partners or sponsors. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled. Partnership does not shield any organization from future investigative coverage. The newsroom and business teams operate independently.
