Community Foundation of Greater Flint awards $300,000 in grants to local nonprofits

The Community Foundation of Greater Flint (CFGF) is investing in nonprofit organizations working to ensure an accurate count in the 2020 census. Thirty-four nonprofit organizations were awarded $300,167 in competitive grants. Grants ranged from $20,000 to $2,100 depending on the project’s scope and geographic coverage. The Census count begins in April 2020. “The Community Foundation is pleased to support local nonprofits that are key to get out the count efforts, particularly in hard-to-count populations,” said Sue Peters, Vice President of Community Impact. “Those with the most to lose from an under-count are the hardest to count, including people of color, immigrants, young children, and those traditionally served by nonprofits.”
