What is the Flint Funders Collaborative?
The Flint Funders Collaborative is a working group of representatives from four leading philanthropies in Genesee County: the Community Foundation of Greater Flint; the C.S. Mott Foundation; the Ruth Mott Foundation; and the United Way of Genesee County. Initial discussions among these funders explored the possibility of establishing a jointly sponsored fund to build excellence, sustainability and trust in the Genesee County nonprofit sector. Discussions over the course of several months made it clear that a collaborative could do jointly what none of the individual funders could do as effectively alone. As a result, the BEST Project was formed to bring a combined and intentional focus to the needs of nonprofit agencies in alignment with community needs.
