How is the Flint Funders Collaborative organized?
The Flint Funders Collaborative encourages participation from two representatives from each of the funding entities: a voting member and a delegate who can vote in the voting members place. This group is called the Funders Advisory Council. One person is chosen from the voting members to serve as the FAC Chairperson for two years. At the end of two-years, the Chair rotates to another representative from one of the other four collaborating funders. The United Way of Genesee County plays the critical role of grantor and Fiscal Host for the project. They contribute funds as well as receive funding from the other three funding partners. A memorandum of understanding spells out this role and other roles for the FFC.
