Community Foundation of Greater Flint

The Community Foundation of Greater Flint is a tax-exempt public charity created by and for the people of Genesee County. CFGF enables people with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about - immediately or through their will. Donors can establish a charitable fund at the foundation by contributing a variety of assets. Those assets are then carefully invested by the foundation. Established in 1988 through the merger of The Flint Public Trust, founded in 1950, and the Flint Area Health Foundation, created in 1978, the resulting Community Foundation combined the strengths of these two Flint institutions to position itself for future growth and giving. Since the merger, assets have grown from $10 million to more than $354 million. Many contributors, ranging from modest to magnificent means, have enabled the Community Foundation to award more than $200 million in grants to the greater Flint area from over 450 charitable funds. The Community Foundation continues to help individuals, families, businesses, and community-based organizations achieve their charitable and financial goals by providing tools and resources that make giving easy, flexible, and effective. We are dedicated to connecting generosity to Genesee County needs. For good. For ever. For everyone.
