Established by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint in partnership with United Way of Genesee County, the Greater Flint Urgent Relief Fund will award grants on a regular basis to nonprofits that are addressing the gaps that are surfacing in key services for most vulnerable community members.

The Community Foundation and United Way will work to ensure the Fund has maximum scope and impact. The Fund Partners encourage institutions, companies and other donors to contribute to the Fund.

Funding decisions will be announced within 10 days. Their goal is to be as nimble and flexible as possible in ensuring that critical services are received by those most at risk in their community.
