When parents, children and teachers can play together, they can learn together. Early intervention programs like the SKIP to a Great Start Parent-Child Playgroups can foster academic success. SKIP is a program of the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD). The Community Foundation was an early supporter of the initiative, awarding a $20,000 grant to buy books for SKIP play-groups located in 21 local school districts. “Playgroups give parents and children the opportunity to learn together while playing, interacting and having fun,” said Gloria Bourdon, Director of Health, Safety and Nutrition at GISD. “Thou-sands of children have been impacted by the SKIP program since its inception in 2003, and we’re starting to realize some excellent results.” Health and nutrition is stressed during playgroup activity, as well as during home visits. Children need to be health to be ready to learn in kindergarten, Bourdon said. For this to happen, children need healthy role models through their parents. Thousands of children have been touched by the SKIP program. Bourdon noted that an analysis shows that student performance on the MEAP tests in reading, English and match is directly correlated to the number of contact hours experienced in home visits and playgroups. “As the number of program contacts with parents and children increased through home visits and playgroups, so did the MEAP scores of children,” Bourdon said. Successful Kids = Involved Parents (SKIP) has built a successful network of support for pre-school children through a continuous stream of services that support children and their parents.

dear friendsDid you ever wonder what the difference between possible and impossible is? of course, there are the laws of physics, but beyond that it just seems to be a matter of will. Is there the personal or collective will to make something happen...or not?

When parents, children and teachers play together, they learn together. Early intervention programs like SKIP to a Great Start Parent-Child Playgroups foster academic success.

Establish a Fund in Lieu of Gifts If you’ve lived in the Clio area even for a short time, chances are you’ve met Fay and Terry Latture, lifelong residents whose lives have centered around supporting their community. Fay worked as an education administrator for 36 years, is a member of the Clio Area Community Fund Advisory Committee and the Clio Area Education Foundation. Terry, a Delphi Corporation retiree, has been actively involved with the Clio Youth Sports Complex and several hunting and fishing organizations.

When Fay retired from her position as Clio Area Schools Superintendent, she and Terry made a decision that would ensure their ability to give back to the community well into the future by establishing the Latture Family Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint. The couple feels strongly about the need to give back, and finds the Community Foundation an excellent vehicle to do that in a meaningful and lasting way.

“We asked people to contribute to the Fund in lieu of presents,” says Fay.

Not surprisingly, having been involved with education throughout their lives, Fay and Terry have designated the Fund to support student educational field trips for Clio-area students.

“Field trips allow kids to experience things first hand, which is a great way to help them learn,” says Fay. “We have a lot to do in Michigan that is relatively close-by, including visits to the state capitol, Greenfield Village, museums, theatres and other cultural organizations.

“I think benevolence is really important,” Fay continues. “I feel very blessed that if you give through the Foundation, it keeps on giving.”

A Legacy of Helping OthersWhen two retired educators passed away in 2010, the community became one of their beneficiaries. Their personal missions to leave a lasting legacy were outlined in their wills.

Kathryn Faner Lobban spent her career in the Flint Public Schools, teaching music, speech, drama and children’s literature to elementary students. She rose through the ranks and served as principal at three elementary schools, a big accomplishment for a woman in the 1940s. She loved Flint, her students, and was an active member of First Presbyterian Church and the St. Cecilia Society of Flint Institute of Music (FIM). The Kathryn Faner Lobban Fund will benefit the Flint Institute of Music.

“Kathryn led the way for women throughout her life, initially by being the first woman to receive a degree from the Michigan State University Music School, and then later as a principal in the Flint Schools,” said Paul Torre, FIM President and CEO. “She cared deeply for children and their music education and dedicated her life for them.”

Cornelia (Corry) Norton pursued her higher education at Flint Junior College, later transferring to the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus. She earned a teaching degree and began a 41-year career as a mathematics teacher and department supervisor at Flint Central High School. She loved travel, especially to Europe, and spent one year teaching at an American military base in Germany.

She was proud to be a Flint resident and generously supported the community through gifts to the Flint Institute of Music, the Community Foundation and the Flint Cultural Center Corporation. The Cornelia Norton Fund provides tutoring services for underprivileged children in our community.

Community Hospice Foundation FundAt dusk on the shores of Lake Copneconic in Fenton, children attending Camp Brave Hearts prepare to launch a boat, handcrafted earlier in the day during craft time. One by one, with feet balanced in the sand, they are invited to come forward and say something about their lost loved one. A candle is lit and the boat is sent off in the Memory Boat Launch ceremony.

That’s one of the highlights of Camp Brave Hearts, a grief support weekend provided by Genesys Hospice. Over 60 children and adults participate in the annual camp held each year at Camp Copneconic. Group discussions, craft time and fun activities keep participants busy all weekend.

In this serene, natural environment, children are able to connect with each other, share their stories and learn that they are not alone in their grief. Children ages 6-18 who have experienced the loss of a parent, grandparent or friend are invited to attend Camp Brave Hearts.

“The older kids will tell us that they didn’t realize how much they needed this experience,” said Hank Messing, Camp Brave Hearts Coordinator. “Some say they didn’t want to come, but they’re glad they did.”

Camp Brave Hearts is an example of the type of program to be funded by the newly established Community Hospice Foundation Fund at the Community Foundation.

“It’s always a good feeling leaving here and knowing we made a difference,” Messing added.

23Fast FactsNumber of Grants Advised by Youth

since 1992: 348

Grantmaking Dollars Invested over 19 years: $930,064

Encouraging Homegrown PhilanthropyFive communities have established endowed “Community Funds” through the Community Foundation to provide a permanent source of funding for projects that enhance quality of life. The Clio, Davison, Fenton, Flushing and Grand Blanc Community Funds are guided by local advisory committees. Volunteers review grant proposals, identify emerging community needs, and design ways to build the endowment.

Understanding unmet needs of the community was the focus for the Grand Blanc and Fenton Community Funds this year. The Hometown Community Conversations project was designed to deepen the advisory committees’ understanding of community needs. Over 80 individuals including donors, business leaders, youth, government officials and representatives from civic groups, faith-based and educational institutions participated.

Focus groups were held to inform the Advisory Committees’ work in three areas: grantmaking, asset development and community leadership. Through the process we learned:

• There is a lack of awareness about the Community Fund, including its process for grantmaking or the guidelines for requesting a grant

• Donors are seeking more opportunities to give • The Fund could play a role in bringing together

government entities and citizens around a particular need or project

In Fenton, the most commonly-discussed unmet need included economic development, downtown revitalization, and creating entertainment and employment opportunities for youth.

Unmet needs in Grand Blanc centered on cooperation between city and township government, economic develop-ment, creating entertainment and employment opportuni-ties for youth, and providing for the needs of people who are suffering economic hardship.

Community Funds encourage homegrown philanthropy, engaging each generation of residents in making a difference that will continue far into the future.

Understanding Needs of Youth For nearly 20 years the Community Foundation has been working with groups of area high school students interested in making a difference. The Youth Advisory Committees (YACs) are comprised of students from across Genesee County. They meet regularly, review grant proposals and community service opportunities, and learn about giving back.

This year the YACs conducted a youth needs survey, a best practice promoted by the Council of Michigan Foundations. YACers distributed the survey link using Facebook and other online social networking sites. Paper surveys were distributed at school and other social gatherings where youth were present.

Of the 288 survey responses, the top 3 overall issues of concern for area youth were: 1. Alcohol and substance abuse 2. Teen pregnancy and 3. Family and personal problems

What’s the best way to help youth struggling with these issues? 1. More programs to help youth 2. More education and awareness about the

consequences of dangerous decisions 3. More counseling and therapy for youth.

Finally, the youth identified the ability to talk to their parents as the most positive influence in their life. Religious involvement also ranked near the top.

“This data is important because it will help our committee members when it comes to making grants and when we look for volunteer opportunities,” said Kelsey Maxwell, Chair of the Countywide YAC. “It also opened our eyes to some of the real issues facing youth in our community.”

Complete Count in 2010 CensusFor every community in America, the U.S. Census count represents power and money – power through adequate congressional representation and money from $400 billion in state and federal funding for hospitals, roads, schools and more. In fact, Genesee County stands to lose about $1,000 a year for each person missed by the Census.

As a key partner in Census 2010, the Community Founda-tion took a leadership role in bringing together individuals, organizations and churches that could help spread the word. The message was simple: “We can’t afford to give up federal dollars that will improve our quality of life. When we’re not counted, we all lose.”

The goal was to improve the mail response rate from the 2000 Census when the City of Flint was undercounted by an estimated 40 percent. Monthly meetings were held at the Community Foundation beginning in 2009, ramping up for the mail-in survey sent in April 2010.

A variety of outreach methods were used to engage the community in the importance of completing the mail-in survey. Information was shared at meetings, in church bulletins and through door-to-door campaigns in areas identified as “hard to count.” Media outreach, special events and billboards also helped promote the message.

Results are impressive. The mail-in response rate for Genesee County is 81% and 74% in Flint, up from 71% and 61% respectively in 2000. The County response rate is well above the 72% national response rate.

“Census data are used for legislative and congressional redistricting, as well as to determine funding for hospitals, schools, job training centers, senior centers, roads and more,” said Lawrence Moon, co-chair of the Genesee County Complete Count Committee. “These improvements will have a significant impact on the lives of everyone in our community.”

We are always thankful to our donors who help make

the Community Foundation’s mission possible.

When parents, children and teachers can play together, they can learn together. Early intervention programs like the SKIP to a Great Start Parent-Child Playgroups can foster academic success. SKIP is a program of the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD). The Community Foundation was an early supporter of the initiative, awarding a $20,000 grant to buy books for SKIP play-groups located in 21 local school districts. “Playgroups give parents and children the opportunity to learn together while playing, interacting and having fun,” said Gloria Bourdon, Director of Health, Safety and Nutrition at GISD. “Thou-sands of children have been impacted by the SKIP program since its inception in 2003, and we’re starting to realize some excellent results.” Health and nutrition is stressed during playgroup activity, as well as during home visits. Children need to be health to be ready to learn in kindergarten, Bourdon said. For this to happen, children need healthy role models through their parents. Thousands of children have been touched by the SKIP program. Bourdon noted that an analysis shows that student performance on the MEAP tests in reading, English and match is directly correlated to the number of contact hours experienced in home visits and playgroups. “As the number of program contacts with parents and children increased through home visits and playgroups, so did the MEAP scores of children,” Bourdon said. Successful Kids = Involved Parents (SKIP) has built a successful network of support for pre-school children through a continuous stream of services that support children and their parents.
