As part of its global commitment to sustainability, Dow looks to invest in programs and organizations that will have a long-term impact and serve as a starting point for widespread community involvement and growth. That is particularly vital in a struggling economy, such as that currently being experienced in Michigan. The list of organizations, projects, programs, events and activities that Dow sponsors or is involved with in Michigan is extensive, but most can be categorized into three areas of focus: enhancing education/job skills training, strengthening individuals and families, and spurring community growth.

What is Dow doing to improve communities?

The Dow Chemical Company is committed to being a good neighbor. This year, Dow is conducting a community relations assessment program at two of its site communities in Michigan to determine what is important to people in the community, so Dow can better allocate its resources, financially and otherwise, to the most important needs in the community.
