Not waiting for government, philanthropy steps up to help Flint

May 10, 2016 9:07 pm Published by

Flint’s recovery received a welcome jolt today, as 10 foundations based in Michigan or with roots here announced a charitable gift of up to nearly $125 million, with most support connected to Flint’s ongoing water crisis.

Far from another bottled-water donation, the foundations vowed to support programs in such areas as early childhood education, health interventions for residents exposed to high lead levels, and economic development in this long-struggling city.

Up to $100 million of the gift will come from the hometown Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the philanthropies said in a press release.

“Flint’s water crisis is far from over,” Ridgway White, Mott’s president, said in the release. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, the Ford Foundation and The Skillman Foundation (Disclosure: Kresge, Kellogg, Mott and Ford have all offered financial support to The Center for Michigan or Bridge Magazine).

The Flint gift marks the second time in recent years that heavyweights in the nonprofit sector have contributed a substantial cash infusion to correct, or try to correct, a crisis caused at least in part by government.

Big givers

The 10 foundations, and their gifts, as they describe them:

Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, up to $50 million over the first year and up to $100 million total over five years, with grants across all six priority areas, as well as investments in K-12 education;

FlintNOW Foundation, committing continued support from a $10 million pledge to aid in a broad range of relief and revitalization efforts in Flint.

W.K. Kellogg Foundation, up to $5 million over the next year to support children’s education, health and well-being, backed by significant investments in community engagement.

The Kresge Foundation, up to $2.5 million for operations and recovery programs of select nonprofit partners, to enhance civic capacity and community engagement.

Carnegie Corporation of New York, committing $1 million to support the educational needs of children in Flint.

Ford Foundation, committing $1 million to the health needs of the Flint community.

The Hagerman Foundation, $1 million over the first year to support the non-profit sector and efforts to revitalize Flint’s economy, with plans to support education, health and wellness over the long term.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, $1 million to support children’s health needs through the Flint Child Health & Development Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.

Ruth Mott Foundation, $1 million for the short- and long-term needs of Flint children and adults, in addition to investments already made.

Skillman Foundation, committing $500,000 immediately, with the potential for an additional $1.5 million over the next three years, to support civic capacity, as well as childhood health, nutrition and literacy.

In 2014, the so-called “grand bargain” saved the Detroit Institute of Arts’ collection from liquidation and was a major factor in the ultimate resolution of that city’s bankruptcy proceedings. Water experts in Flint and state government absorbed much of the blame for the Flint crisis.

Family health, including a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $5 million in donations made to the Flint Child Health & Development Fund through the end of 2016. The fund will provide support over the next 20 years for interventions for Flint children exposed to lead.

Early childhood education, so that young children in Flint can be admitted to Early Start, Head Start and Great Start Readiness programs.

Improving the city’s nonprofit sector, which the foundations said have been challenged by early response to the crisis.

Community engagement, through promotion of civic engagement and local decision-making.

Economic development, to attempt to correct the damage done to the city’s businesses by the water crisis.

May 10, 2016 8:56 pm Published by

FLINT, MI — Ten groups, including three Flint-based foundations, have pledged to donate a total of $125 million to restore the community in the aftermath of the Flint water crisis.

Foundations across the country announced their support for the plan of support, which identifies six areas of relief for residents affected by lead exposure both immediately and in the long term.

Ridgway White, president of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, said he believes it’s a comprehensive plan to help residents recover from the crisis, and most importantly, it shows that they are not alone in coping with the lasting effects.

“We basically felt we needed to craft a narrative of hope for the citizens of Flint,” White said. Some funds will also support experts who make sure the community is benefiting from a 21st century approach to the integrated management of drinking, storm and waste water.

White said these ten groups will provide the support Flint families will need to deal with the affects of the water crisis for decades.

“Flint’s water crisis is far from over. We envision a vibrant Flint with a robust economy, dynamic culture, and healthy, thriving residents, and we’re committed to achieving these goals.”

The Mott Foundation is donating up to $50 million the first year, and up to $100 million, total, over five years. The grants will benefit all six areas, as well as K-12 education, according to the release.

Other Flint-based foundations that have pledged donations include The Hagerman Foundation and the Ruth Mott Foundation.

The Hagerman Foundation pledged to provide $1 million over the first year to support the non-profit sector and economy. The group also plans to support education, health and wellness for children and their families for years to come.

The Ruth Mott Foundation committed $1 million to the Flint water crisis, with funding directed toward short- and long-term needs of adults and children exposed to lead.

Handy Lindsey, president of the Ruth Mott Foundation, said the money will immediately help residents, but it’s also an investment into the future.

New mobile response effort has helped two avoid hospitalization so far, officials say

So far two people have avoided hospitalization thanks to the new Mobile Crisis Response team, said Denny Pfrimmer executive director of Capital Area Counseling.

The team was created in the wake of the recent loss of the crisis room at Avera St.

Right now, two clinicians respond to an incident so they can gain experience. Maryas Foundation, applied for a Community Innovation Grant from the Minnesota based Bush Foundation and the South Dakota Community Foundation.

Itas not necessarily the $10,000 that will make the biggest difference to the Community Crisis Response effort, Lee said, it will be the focus that comes from the reporting requirements that come with any grant.

Lee said, the grant will be used to help find better ways to treat people in the area who are suffering from a mental health crisis.

aThere is no one that has the challenges that we do,a Lee said. aWe donat have a behavioral health center.a

Lee is a member of the Community Crisis Team and said mental health treatment has been an incredibly difficult nut to crack in the Pierre and Fort Pierre area.

That is, unless the new mobile response team can intervene and work with families, friends and the patients themselves to find a way to prevent hospitalization.

The new grant will be used to plan more solutions for mental health treatment in the area, Lee said.

aWe came up with a lot of ideas but we need to do more planning,a she said.

One aspect of the process will be community involvement, Lee said.

aIt canat just be six people in a room making decisions,a she said.
