A Nothing could have prepared us more for 2020 than the work we accomplished in 2019. A new strategic plan, with its focus on equity, set us upon a new journey that is more relevant today than ever before in the community foundation’s history. This annual report is brief but mighty, with some traditional elements like our donor list posted online at www.cfgfreport.org. We reflect on our racial equity learning journey and the adoption of a new strategic plan. Our grantees are simply the best, and the impact of their work is highlighted. And we include our COVID-19 response and are pleased to acknowledge the phenomenal work of Genesee County nonprofit organizations. With your generous gifts, we have responded boldly to many challenges in 2019, and 2020 as well. Thank you for embracing our vision of a vibrant and equitable Flint and Genesee County. COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER FLINT • www.cfgfreport.org 1 The Community Foundation’s vision is centered in racial equity — an equitable community where everyone can thrive. Equity is all we want for a good life — safety, security, housing, education, and economic opportunity. 2 2019 ANNUAL REPORT • www.cfgfreport.org LEADERSHIP LETTER Dear Friends, What a turbulent year for everyone. Leaning into so many challenges, we found the ground beneath our feet to embrace new opportunities and take bold action. While pivoting through the 2020 global pandemic crisis, we had a clear roadmap within our new strategic plan to guide grantmaking decisions and our emergency response. Through your generous gifts, we lived into our new mission of connecting generosity to Genesee County’s needs. The Community Foundation’s vision is centered in racial equity — an equitable community where everyone can thrive. Equity is all we want for a good life — safety, security, housing, education, and economic opportunity. Our community leadership agenda is reflected in the community foundation’s 2020-2025 strategic plan. To develop our goals and objectives, we engaged grassroots community voices to ground our strategy in truth. With equity embedded in our vision, we aspire to deepen our role beyond grantmaking and become a more effective partner in building an equitable, inclusive, and widely prosperous community. As we reorient our work around racial equity, we have engaged donors and other stakeholders in conversations and agenda-setting. We built competence internally to truly deliver on our mission. We want to do more by leaning into the lived experiences of those who are marginalized the most. And then bridge that with donors like you as we live into the promise to be in and of community. We are always seeking ways to create a larger and more sustained impact. We challenge you to question us. Tell us what we can do better. Our 2019 story is a celebration of all those who have responded boldly. We are thankful to our donors, grantees and volunteers. You are the trifecta that makes Genesee County a better place. Isaiah M. Oliver George Wilkinson President and CEO Chair, Board of Trustees COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER FLINT • www.cfgfreport.org 3 2019 HIGHLIGHTS: IN AND OF COMMUNITY TRUTH, RACIAL HEALING & TRANSFORMATION We continued our Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) work by hosting a luncheon with Dr. Gail Christopher, architect of the TRHT framework, and local nonprofit leaders. To capture her wisdom, we took the opportunity to launch a new podcast, Philanthropy Speaks, hosted by Community Foundation of Greater Flint (CFGF) president and CEO Isaiah M. Oliver. Dr. Christopher was Isaiah’s first guest. All podcasts are available on Spotify, Stitcher and our website. “ON THE GROUND” JOURNALISM Flintside, a solutions journalism digital magazine supported by CFGF, launched its first On the Ground program in Flint’s Civic Park neighborhood in summer 2019. Six months of intense community journalism included features on Civic Park’s people and events, as well as its roots and its future. Over 100,000 people were reached through the coverage. A book was published featuring the 48-article series as a thank you gift to community members who helped make the project possible. 4 2019 ANNUAL REPORT • www.cfgfreport.org FLINT PUBLIC ART PROJECT Murals revitalized several buildings in Flint’s south side thanks to the work of 26 artists and a $5,200 CFGF grant. The Flint Public Art Project led the effort and held a Free City Festival to celebrate the work of local, national and international artists. Over 250 people attended. The creation of a festival map allowed participants to take a walking or driving tour of the murals and then return to the festival to enjoy music and other events. The Flint Neighborhood Art Parade brought together Flint residents with artists and performers for four monthly walks and gatherings. Each parade featured art and performance elements with a marching band. A $5,000 grant supported the mobile performance series. FOOD SYSTEM RESEARCH PROJECT Access to healthy food has been a CFGF strategic priority for the past three years. We have supported many programs and have engaged with community partners on food systems work. Programs like the Hurley Food FARMacy where patients receive a healthy food prescription tailored to their dietary needs. Or expansion of the Double Up Food Bucks program. Flint Fresh food box delivery to seniors. These creative endeavors were strengthened by findings from a four-year research project made possible with a partnership by CFGF and the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research. COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER FLINT • www.cfgfreport.org 5 CENSUS 2020 ENSURING A COMPLETE COUNT FOR GENESEE COUNTY She is the lady on the forklift. Provider of all things essential. A mother in the truest sense of the word. She is Mother Jones, Sandra S. Jones, well- known for water distribution work through the R.L. Jones Community Outreach Center Campus of Greater Holy Temple Church in north Flint. Mother Jones was among 38 grantee organizations to lead Census 2020 work in Flint. Our Census work began in June 2019 when CFGF hosted the first gathering of potential grantee organizations at the Food Bank’s Hunger Solution Center. CFGF served as a Census Hub in the 2020 Michigan Nonprofits Count Campaign, a collaborative, coordinated, statewide effort to encourage participation in the Census. We awarded $350,000 in grants to nonprofits, served as a campaign key messenger, and partnered with the city’s Complete Count Committee to coordinate and avoid duplication of efforts. Flint was a city at risk of being undercounted. Those with the most to lose from an undercount are the hardest to count, including communities of color, immigrants, young children and those traditionally served by nonprofits. Through the work of local nonprofit organizations, 91,406 homes were given materials and 34,442 people attended 366 Census related events. Mother Jones attributes her success to the trust she has built with clients, many of whom live in Census Tract 18, a low-response rate tract. “The single largest challenge is helping residents understand why the Census is important to them,” Mother Jones says. “We have built relationships with the people we serve, and they trust us to have their best interests in mind.” 6 2019 ANNUAL REPORT • www.cfgfreport.org COVID-19 IMPACT REPORT Funding nonprofit organizations with a focus on equity for short-term recovery in Flint and Genesee County, Michigan during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

In this sense, it may truly be called a Foundation for Living — with the ultimate aim of developing greater understanding among men. “We recognize that our obligation to fellow men does not stop at the boundaries of the community. In an even larger sense, every man is in partnership with the rest of the human race in the eternal conquest which we call civilization.” harles Stewart Mott (1875-1973), who established this Foundation in 1926, was deeply concerned, from Chis earliest years in Flint, with the welfare of his adopted community.

  • Annual Report 1978
    Charles Stewart Matt, who established this foundation in 1926, was deeply concerned from his earliest years in Flint with the welfare of his adopted community. Soon after he had become one of the dry's leading industrialists. this General Motors pioneer found a practical and successful way to express his interest. He served two years as mayor (1912-13) during a period when the swiftly growing city was beset with municipal problems, with 40,000 people sharing facilities adequate for 10,000. As a private citizen, he provided a building for Hurley Hospital, started a medical and dental clinic for children, helped to establish (he YMCA and the Boy Scouts, Nine years after the Foundation was incorporated for philanthro- pic, charitable and educational purposes, it became a major factor in the life of Flint through organized schoolground recreational activities that developed into the nationwide community school/community education pro- gram. From this start, the Foundation's major concern has been the well-being of the community: the individual, the family, the neighborhood, the systems of government. This interest has continued to find expression in Flint and also has taken us far beyond our home city. Since no one has all the answers to what makes a community work, we support a variety of approaches. This report deals with the avenues that we explored in 1978 while mindful of the founder's motto, "Let us be known by our deeds," and mindful also of the words he once added to that motto: ". and not by our monev." Spiritual Problem Solving At times the burdens of the world seem fellow man.

McAlinden David Andrea Researcher, Research Associate, Industrial Technology Institute Office for the Study of Autolnotive TI-ansportation The Automotive Industry, General Motors, and Genesee County Executive Summary The past two decades have seen major shifts in the patterns of domestic industrial production. Manufacturing has declined as a percentage of our GNP, and our needs for manufactured goods are increasingly met by offshore production. The midwest region of the United States relies heavily on manufacturing for its jobs and economic activity, and Genesee County, with its central city of Flint, ranks as one of the middle-sized metropolitan areas of the United States most dependent on the manufacturing sector for its local economy. The midwest manufacturing base is heavily concentrated in automotive production, and Genesee County's manufacturing base is almost exclusively automotive. The automotive activities of the Genesee economy are virtually all concentrated in and supportive of one company, General Motors, and GM activity in Genesee represents almost the entire span of automotive manufacturing activities that the corporation pursues throughout the United States.
