North Flint Priorities
Grants must address youth, safety, economic opportunity, or neighborhoods—and specifically at least one of the themes within them that residents identified as most important. See What We Fund.
Racial Equity & Community Engagement
We see a need within these four priority areas to close racial disparities, which is critically important to our community. We also highly value community engagement and successful applicants will demonstrate how they are doing projects “with” rather than “to” the north Flint community.
Geographic Fit
Proposed projects must serve north Flint residents. See Our North Flint Focus.
Effectiveness
Effectiveness refers to the ability of the organization to carry out its proposed work, as well as success in contributing to positive outcomes. Having appropriate evaluation measures in place is important to demonstrate effectiveness. See Learning & Evaluation.
