COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER FLINT

ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONOF GREATER FLINT Established in 1988 through the merger ofThe Flint Public Trust and the Flint Area Health Foundation, the Community Foundation combined the strengths of these two Flint institutions. Over the past 33 years,more than 21,000 donors have enabled the Community Foundation to award more than $145 million in grants in Flint and Genesee County.Our work is possible through the careful stewardship of more than 750 charitable funds and estate gifts.Connecting generosity to the needs of our community is at the heart of the CFGF mission. Isaiah M.Oliver serves as the organization’s President and CEO, the fifth chief executive in the organization’s history, and the first leader born and raised in Flint.Under Oliver’s leadership, the CFGF has expanded its mission to focus on community engagement and racial equity, while continuing to provide an expansive range of philanthropic services.Urgent relief, arts, education, health, human services and many other areas benefit from the generosity of CFGF donors. Greater Flint Urgent Relief Fund Genesee County nonprofit organizations, those working diligently on the ground to keep people sheltered,well-nourished and healthy, receive support through the Greater Flint Urgent Relief Fund.Established by CFGF in partnership with UnitedWay, the Fund has awarded over $4 million in grants during the COVID-19 pandemic.The purpose of the fund is to quickly coordinate and provide resources to nonprofits working with communities disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Pride Fund The Pride Fund was established in 2018 by a group of founding donors who are committed to our common humanity.The Fund’s purpose is to advance the dignity and quality of life for Genesee County’s LGBTQ+ community.This endowment serves as a permanent resource to nonprofits providing programs and services to LGBTQ+ youth,adults, families and seniors in areas such as health and wellness,arts and culture,housing,education and training.We are honored that Genesee County donors have come forward to not only establish this Fund with their generous gifts,but have also committed to growing the Fund.Through pledges and individual gifts,over $50,000 has been raised. Community Funds One measure of a community foundation is how well it represents and reflects the community it serves.Within Genesee County are several communities that have their own endowed funds, but are still a part of CFGF.We are proud to steward permanent endowments that benefit the areas of Clio, Davison, Fenton, Flushing and Grand Blanc.These funds unite the thinking of local leadership to best meet community needs.CFGF manages the assets, while local leaders review grant proposals and recommend funding for their community’s nonprofit organizations.This helps community fund volunteers focus their time on asset building and meeting area needs.
