Centering Equity
Our vision embeds equity in all we do. Defining equity for CFGF and its work has been an ongoing journey for our board of trustees and staff. We have engaged community partners throughout this journey over the past several years. Together, we are creating equitable impact through new strategies that center equity.
We talk about lived experiences and listen deeply to the voices in our community. We understand that equity is essential here because we can’t just “pull up our bootstraps.” Some don’t have boots. Rather, through healing, learning, and a willingness to embrace change, we can create an equitable community where everyone can thrive.
You will notice people throughout this report. It is the people, entrusted with valuable resources, who are owning their truths, and embracing change. People from all walks of life are centering equity, building credibility and trust, and practicing a new way of delivering services across Flint and Genesee County.
