What Foundation for Flint does
Mission
To support and benefit the community foundation of greater flint. The organization will address a wide variety of community needs in greater flint, and its immediate priority is to provide aid to those affected by the flint water crisis.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The organization receives gifts from individuals, foundations, and organizations and places them into individual funds that match the giving priorities of the donors. The organization's current priorities include: assisting in flint's emergency and recovery from the water crisis, raising and distributing resources to serve the long-term health and development needs of flint children and their families, and improving the economic vitality of the city of flint, through two charitable funds - the flint child health and development fund and the moving flint forward fund.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $507,420.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $15M to $4.6M (−70%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
66% of FOUNDATION FOR FLINT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 9 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 8 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $2.0M → $198.
3 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $39k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Community Foundation of Greater Flint). These are real filings, and they are not money FOUNDATION FOR FLINT raised.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
97% of FOUNDATION FOR FLINT's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
