What is THAWs relationship with other funds, such as Peoplecare?
THAW is an independent non-profit organization ~ not a program of a specific utility. While the generosity of our utility partners helps us educate the public and increases the power of our contributions, many other organizations contribute to THAW as well. THAW participates in several collaborative activities with agencies providing energy assistance such as the Coalition to Keep Michigan Warm, the Southeast Michigan Community Energy Initiative, and the National Fuel Fund Network to look for long-term solutions to energy assistance issues. Whenever possible, agencies work together to coordinate services for applicants and to avoid duplication. THAW works with agencies throughout the state that were formerly part of MichCon’s Heat Bank program. Peoplecare funds collected by Consumer’s Energy are disbursed through Salvation Army offices, many of whom are also THAW screening sites.
