Racial equity has been a priority for the Community Foundation of Greater Flint from its inception in 1988, brought into relief by Flint’s majority Black population. Inequities surfaced sharply in the 2010s, when Flint briefly switched its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River, unleashing a series of physical and mental health crises. The Community Foundation forged progress from calamity, making equity a specific focus in its 2014 strategic plan. Equity became an even stronger focus in the Foundation’s 2019 strategic plan, and the COVID-19 pandemic brought equity issues to the fore again, resulting in a successful community effort to improve access to health services for Black and Latinx people. In more recent years, the Community Foundation has strengthened the diversity of its investment portfolio management. A proactive board of trustees has helped support the Foundation’s increased centering of equity in its approach to grantmaking and collaboration with communities.
