About this grant

This grant provides partial support for the Genesee Area Focus Fund and its supported organization, the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce, to continue to deliver economic development and education and training services to the Flint area, and build Flint’s economic resilience to recover from the Flint water crisis.
