Dear FrienDs,<br />
The work we do at the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is the<br />
best <strong>of</strong> all work. As the stories in the annual report<br />
reveal, we have the privilege <strong>of</strong> being part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
amazing good works <strong>of</strong> a wide variety <strong>of</strong> people and<br />
organizations. As we share with you the wonderful<br />
things made possible in <strong>2009</strong> by the good people<br />
and great nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations <strong>of</strong> Genesee County,<br />
we ask that you reflect on how blessed our community<br />
is to have such abundant, inspired leadership.<br />
Leadership comes to us in many different ways. Take<br />
Phil Braun who represents the best <strong>of</strong> the Greatest<br />
Generation; or Joe Daily, a Gen Xer whose life, but<br />
not impact, was cut short. How about the Landaal<br />
family? From generation to generation the Landaals<br />
have been an important part <strong>of</strong> the economic fabric<br />
<strong>of</strong> Genesee County. Now they have made sure their<br />
children and grandchildren will play an important role<br />
in strengthening the well-being <strong>of</strong> our community.<br />
Leadership also comes from organizations like the<br />
CRIM Fitness <strong>Foundation</strong>, <strong>Flint</strong> Area Reinvestment<br />
Office, <strong>Flint</strong> Neighborhood Improvement and Preservation<br />
Project and the <strong>Flint</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Arts. These<br />
valued institutions make an incredibly important<br />
difference in improving life for tens <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong><br />
people throughout Genesee County.<br />
As you read through this report, keep in mind this<br />
is just a sample <strong>of</strong> the remarkable stories <strong>of</strong> leadership<br />
in our community. It is our privilege to be in<br />
partnership with many individuals and organizations<br />
like these, all helping to lead the way to a better and<br />
brighter future for the <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Flint</strong> area.<br />

He expressed his unconditional love for humankind through<br />
photography, writing, art and music. For Philip J. “Phil” Braun,<br />
artistic expression was just one way <strong>of</strong> giving back to the<br />
community he loved so dearly.<br />
Born and raised in <strong>Flint</strong>, Phil learned the value <strong>of</strong> “giving<br />
forward” by his father’s example and from other community<br />
leaders whom he had known and admired. In Faces, one <strong>of</strong><br />
several books he published, Phil shares the stories <strong>of</strong> several<br />
Genesee County leaders who made an impact on his life.<br />
Learn more<br />
“He made a garden <strong>of</strong> friends and family,” says son Mark. “He<br />
guarded, nourished, and harvested that garden his whole life.”<br />
As a community leader he nourished and supported<br />
organizations like the YMCA, Big Brothers Big Sisters <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Flint</strong>, Downtown Kiwanis Club, Mott Children’s Health<br />
Center, United Way <strong>of</strong> Genesee County and the <strong>Flint</strong> Northern<br />
Alumni Association. Through charitable trusts,<br />
Phil established four Funds at the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
that benefit the causes he cared about most:<br />
Philip J. and Sally J. Braun Fund for Mental Health supports<br />
community needs in the area <strong>of</strong> mental health<br />
Philip J. and Sally J. Braun Fund for the <strong>Flint</strong> Cultural Center<br />
provides general operating support for the <strong>Flint</strong> Cultural<br />
Center Corporation<br />
Sally J. Braun Youth Fund supports Big Brothers Big Sisters<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Flint</strong><br />
Philip J. Braun Fund supports operations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Flint</strong><br />
When he passed away at age 89, Phil Braun ensured that his<br />
charitable legacy would be a “for good, forever story” that<br />
would inspire emerging leaders for generations to come.<br />

Drawing in broader and more diverse audiences is the number<br />
one goal <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Flint</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Arts (FIA), one <strong>of</strong> Michigan’s<br />
premiere art institutions. For Clara Blakely, a long-time art lover,<br />
artist and author, volunteering at the FIA was a natural fit.<br />
Clara is a member <strong>of</strong> the FIA’s African American <strong>Community</strong><br />
Gala committee whose purpose is to plan, fundraise and<br />
implement an annual community celebration and Gala.<br />
She recalls being thrilled when John Henry, FIA Director,<br />
suggested bringing Mary Lee Bendolph’s Gee’s Bend Quilt<br />
exhibit to the community. A grant <strong>of</strong> $17,500 from the<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s <strong>Community</strong> Impact Fund provided<br />
support for the exhibit.<br />
The art <strong>of</strong> quilting is near and dear to Clara’s heart. She learned<br />
the process from her grandmother and great-aunt who picked<br />
cotton, pulled out seeds and beat it down for quilt-making.<br />
“The traditional and generational pull <strong>of</strong> this exhibit was<br />
significant.” Clara says. “A lot <strong>of</strong> people aren’t aware <strong>of</strong> the<br />
contributions <strong>of</strong> African American artists. Gee’s Bend was<br />
a way to engage the larger community — including college<br />
students — in cultural center activities.”<br />
Nearly 40,000 visitors attended the Gee’s Bend exhibit held<br />
January-April 2010 to coincide with Black History Month.<br />
“The spirit and outreach <strong>of</strong> Gee’s Bend inspired others,” Clara<br />
adds. “The ripple effect is going to be felt for a long time.”<br />

Established in 1928, the <strong>Flint</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Arts was founded by<br />
community leaders who felt the city needed a place where<br />
students could pursue studio courses and the public could<br />
enjoy art exhibitions.<br />

When Landaal Packaging Systems marked its 50th anniversary<br />
in <strong>2009</strong>, company founder Virginia Landaal celebrated<br />
by making a gift to the community. In keeping with the<br />
family’s core values — God, family and community — Virginia<br />
established a donor advised Fund that will benefit the greater<br />
<strong>Flint</strong> community for generations to come.<br />
“We really emphasize our involvement in the community<br />
because we’re in business here and we’ve had a wonderful run<br />
<strong>of</strong> 50 years,” Virginia says. “God has blessed us so much, so<br />
we’ve got to try and help others.”<br />
Rather than start a private family foundation, Virginia and her<br />
two children, Barbara Landaal Terry* and Steve Landaal, chose<br />
“The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers a better opportunity to<br />
get the next generation involved in philanthropy,” Steve says,<br />
adding that Virginia’s grandchildren will be involved in advising<br />
grants. “It’s important that we carry on these family values and<br />
pass them on to our children.”<br />
“Keeping our family together and keeping them aware <strong>of</strong> the<br />
things they must do, that’s what’s most important,” Virginia adds.<br />
Steve says the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> understands the needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> the community and that knowledge will help inform their<br />
grantmaking so they can make the most impact.<br />
“This all-encompassing approach is like one-stop shopping for<br />
someone who wants to do broad philanthropic work,” Steve<br />
says. “We want to be a part <strong>of</strong> creating a community that<br />
provides family stability and meaningful jobs. And we want<br />
to give back to the community that’s been so good to us over<br />
the years.”<br />
* Note: With deepest condolences, the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
acknowledges the death <strong>of</strong> Barbara Landaal Terry, a community leader and<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the Fund’s founders.<br />
the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> as their philanthropic partner.<br />

A FIT commUnITY<br />
It’s the coveted big blue line that attracts over 1,200 area<br />
residents to participate in the CrimFit Adult Training Program<br />
each spring. Considered the largest training program for a<br />
single athletic event in the country, CrimFit answers a need<br />
for people who want to finish the race and lead a healthier<br />
lifestyle.<br />
“We’ve got room for everybody,” says Sarah Kelly Hartman,<br />
CrimFit Adult Training Program Coordinator. “This program has<br />
really made a difference to so many people who never thought<br />
that they’d do anything like this.”<br />
Sarah coordinates the program and also serves as a volunteer<br />
group leader. She treks across Genesee County every Tuesday<br />
evening with people who have a goal <strong>of</strong> finishing the race and<br />
improving their health.<br />
Group leaders are the backbone <strong>of</strong> the 15-week program, Sarah<br />
says. They range in age from 18 to 86, meeting their groups in<br />
different locations each week to keep the training experience<br />
interesting. Under their leadership, participants learn to train<br />
properly and improve their fitness levels.<br />
With 95 percent <strong>of</strong> program participants finishing the race,<br />
CrimFit leaders know they are helping hundreds <strong>of</strong> people<br />
achieve their goals along with promoting a healthier life.<br />
A <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> grant <strong>of</strong> $24,722 from the Arthur<br />
L. Tuuri Health Fund supported program costs.<br />
“I see the training program as such a positive thing for <strong>Flint</strong>,”<br />
Sarah says. “How many towns can brag about large groups <strong>of</strong><br />
runners and walkers weaving through town on Tuesday nights?<br />

better about themselves and the community.”<br />

When <strong>Flint</strong> needed an interim mayor in <strong>2009</strong>, Mike Brown stepped up<br />
to the plate to lead <strong>Flint</strong> in a positive direction during his six-month<br />
tenure at city hall. But this man is no pinch-hitter.<br />
He’s chaired the Genesee County Board <strong>of</strong> Commissioners, directed<br />
two United Way organizations and led inter-governmental relations<br />
and community development for the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Flint</strong>. Now Mike leads the<br />
<strong>Flint</strong> Area Reinvestment Office (FARO), an idea fostered by the Charles<br />
Stewart Mott <strong>Foundation</strong>. The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> responded to<br />
the invitation to strengthen FARO’s resources and advised a $20,000<br />
grant from the <strong>Community</strong> Impact Fund.<br />
In this new role Mike is on the front lines <strong>of</strong> pursuing significant federal<br />
funding for <strong>Flint</strong> and Genesee County. Many <strong>of</strong> those dollars come<br />
from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed into law by<br />
President Barack Obama in February <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
“We need to be aggressive about pursuing those resources and<br />
leveraging that funding,” Mike says. “It’s about bringing key players<br />
together and forming partnerships so we can transform our community<br />
for the new jobs <strong>of</strong> the future.”<br />
Quality jobs, education, health care and green environments are a focus<br />
for FARO. When federal grant opportunities come about, Mike informs<br />
local nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations, businesses and government entities who<br />
may carry out the work. It is through awareness and public/private<br />
collaborations that competitive federal dollars are secured, programs<br />
are implemented, and results are achieved.<br />
“There’s a new openness to integrate services and look at ways <strong>of</strong> doing<br />
business together,” Mike says. “I want to make a contribution and I feel<br />
blessed to have this opportunity.”<br />

Being designated as a historic site presented a final challenge<br />
for the long-awaited opening <strong>of</strong> Witherbee’s Market & Deli,<br />
downtown <strong>Flint</strong>’s only grocery store. The porcelain covered<br />
panels on the building’s exterior had to be restored to their<br />
original condition — which meant stripping and re-glazing,<br />
a more costly process than a simple paint job.<br />
That’s when Bitha Tucker, executive director <strong>of</strong> <strong>Flint</strong><br />
Neighborhood Improvement and Preservation Project (FNIPP),<br />
turned to the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> for help. Through a<br />
$15,000 grant from the <strong>Community</strong> Impact and Downtown<br />
Façade Improvement Funds, the repairs were made, paving<br />
the way for the market’s grand opening in 2010.<br />
Located at 601 ML King at Third Avenue, Witherbee’s brings<br />
healthy, fresh food to an inner-city neighborhood that’s been<br />
without a grocer for years. The 5,000-square-foot market<br />
provides all the necessities for nearby residents and area<br />
university students.<br />
Learn more<br />
Redeveloping the once abandoned building was a new<br />
leadership effort for FNIPP, a local nonpr<strong>of</strong>it dedicated<br />
to housing and rehabbing homes.<br />
“We needed to step out <strong>of</strong> our boundaries <strong>of</strong> just housing<br />
and venture into new areas,” Bitha said. “Witherbee’s presented<br />
a new learning experience for our organization.”<br />
The $1.5 million project was a collaborative effort and<br />
various funders have contributed to its success. FNIPP<br />
owns the building and is leasing the grocery operations<br />
to a local management group headed by David White<br />
and Perry Compton.<br />
“Residents <strong>of</strong> Carriage Town and area university students<br />
can now walk to the store to buy fresh fruits, get a deli<br />
sandwich or pick up a gallon <strong>of</strong> milk,” Bitha says. “We’re<br />
here to help the neighbors.”<br />

A musician, writer and filmmaker, Joe Daily was an emerging<br />
young leader in the Flushing community. He edited the school<br />
newspaper, wrote and performed songs and was a regular<br />
talent at Flushing’s Elbow Room. Following graduation from<br />
the University <strong>of</strong> Michigan in Ann Arbor, Joe began to teach<br />
and mentor youth at Grand Blanc and Flushing high schools.<br />
Despite his abundant energy, Joe suffered from a rare form<br />
<strong>of</strong> cancer for over 18 years.<br />
“Everyone knew Joe and loved Joe. He was the coolest guy,”<br />
said former Flushing Mayor Jan Gensel.<br />
Learn more<br />
Not surprisingly, the Flushing community responded quickly<br />
when Joe’s family needed financial support for an impending<br />
surgery not covered by insurance. In just three weeks a<br />
remarkable $268,000 was raised for the Joe Daily Transplant<br />
Fund to help with Joe’s unreimbursed medical expenses.<br />
After Joe’s passing, over $250,000 remained in the Fund being<br />
held at a local church.<br />
Recognizing the importance <strong>of</strong> continuing Joe’s legacy,<br />
community leaders Deb Glover and Pastor Doug Klein <strong>of</strong><br />
Colonial Hills Baptist Church contacted Patrick O’Callaghan<br />
and Tim Purman <strong>of</strong> the Flushing <strong>Community</strong> Fund <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Flint</strong> to establish a<br />
charitable fund in Joe’s name.<br />
Grants from the Joe Daily Fund support expenses related to<br />
the special needs <strong>of</strong> the families <strong>of</strong> pediatric oncology patients<br />
at Hurley Medical Center. Members <strong>of</strong> the Hurley <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
staff work closely with the pediatric oncology social work team<br />
to identify families who need financial support. Gas cards,<br />
phone cards and meal tickets are examples <strong>of</strong> how families may<br />
benefit from the Joe Daily Fund.<br />
“Joe wanted to see the money go to help others,” said Joe’s<br />
mother, Nancy Daily. “He knew the community loved him.”<br />
Gifts to the Joe Daily Fund support the special<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> children with cancer and their families.<br />

The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> serves all <strong>of</strong> Genesee County, an<br />
area comprised <strong>of</strong> many communities, each with its own history<br />
and character.<br />
Five communities have established geographic affiliates <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. There is an endowed community Fund<br />
benefiting Clio, Davison, Fenton, Flushing and Grand Blanc<br />
which is led by local volunteers who share a passion for the<br />
place they call home.<br />
Leaders serve on Advisory Committees that work with the<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s pr<strong>of</strong>essional staff to help identify<br />
current and emerging charitable needs in their communities.<br />
They also advise grantmaking. Here’s a sample <strong>of</strong> grants advised<br />
in <strong>2009</strong> by Advisory Committee leaders:<br />
“C is for Clio Alphabet Book” captures the spirit <strong>of</strong> Clio in this<br />
student-authored illustrated book funded in part by a $550<br />
grant advised by the Clio Area <strong>Community</strong> Fund.<br />
Outreach East, a local nonpr<strong>of</strong>it that provides emergency<br />
food and personal items to individuals and families in Davison,<br />
received support through a $500 grant advised by the<br />
Davison <strong>Community</strong> Fund.<br />
A barrier-free entrance ramp was installed at Veterans <strong>of</strong><br />
Foreign Wars – Price, Crane, Robinsons Post #4642 <strong>of</strong> Linden,<br />
thanks to a $6,666 challenge grant issued by the Fenton<br />
<strong>Community</strong> Fund.<br />
Individuals with SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance<br />
Program) debit cards now have access to vendors at the<br />
Grand Blanc Farmer’s Market with help from a $5,000 grant<br />
advised by the Grand Blanc <strong>Community</strong> Fund.<br />
This is homegrown, hometown philanthropy that is making<br />
a difference today, and will continue to do so far into the future.<br />
An endowed geographic affiliate Fund provides<br />
a permanent source <strong>of</strong> funding to enhance the<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> life for area residents.<br />

They understood the need was great and stepped up to the challenge.<br />
Youth grantmakers from the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Countywide Youth<br />
Advisory Committee have supported the “Help Stuff a Back Pack Challenge”<br />
since 2002, advising grants <strong>of</strong> $39,000 since the program’s inception. In<br />
<strong>2009</strong>, the youth went above and beyond to provide a record 483 back<br />
packs to deserving students.<br />
Representing various communities in Genesee County, the young leaders<br />
challenged businesses and individuals to support the project by <strong>of</strong>fering<br />
a one-to-one challenge grant for every dollar donated, up to $5,000.<br />
Additional support for the project came from community partners. The<br />
<strong>Flint</strong> Journal helped with promotion, Meijer provided the back packs at<br />
a 50 percent discount and the Genesee Intermediate School District<br />
distributed them to area students.<br />
Results were impressive. The challenge grant was a success and together<br />
with community contributions, $12,075 was raised. Over 400 students in<br />
20 school districts across Genesee County proudly carried new, colorful<br />
back packs to school, fully stuffed with needed school supplies.<br />
Youth Initiative Program Funds are permanently endowed funds <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Flint</strong>. The Funds were established in the 1990s through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> for the purpose <strong>of</strong> involving young people in philanthropy and volunteer service.<br />
