Description
The Davison Community Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Flint supports homegrown philanthropy in education, health and human services, community development, and recreation. A local advisory committee meets throughout the year to review grant applications and recommend funding for nonprofit work that exclusively benefits the City of Davison, Davison Township, and Richfield Township.
Established in 2004, the fund grew from efforts by community leaders Tim Elkins, Robert Callis, and Pete Auger to create a permanent endowment benefiting the Davison area. Recent grants illustrate its local focus, supporting utility and rental assistance, park improvements, a hydration station, BMX safety equipment, the Festival of Flags, and summer day camp sponsorship.
