Flint Kids Fund
Since 2016, the Flint Kids Fund has invested over $14 million in programs aimed to address and mitigate the impact of lead poisoning and trauma suffered by many children in Flint. The 20-year fund supports programs and services that focus on the long-term health and development needs of our children. You can help by giving to the Flint Kids Fund.
The Flint Kids Fund upcoming application deadline is September 1. The Flint Kids Fund will make grants in this round to support projects impacting: improved access to a medical home and a child health team for all children to ensure, in part, all children are provided with robust developmental assessments and support, increases in family, social and emotional support, and parenting skills, and special projects.
