Partner with the current Leadership Flint & Genesee Cohort
Each Leadership Flint & Genesee cohort seeks Request for Proposals (RFP) to select the cohort’s community impact project. We invite you to submit a potential project for our participants to complete during their upcoming class year.
Potential projects should:
- Benefit an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency, located in and serving Genesee County.
- Fulfill a specific community need in Genesee County.
- Be able to be completed between November 2024 – May 2025.
- Be large enough in scope for 10 people to actively play a role in the project. (May include committees such as: logistics, budget, finance, marketing, and others.)
- Have the ability for the class to develop it further and/or modify the scope as determined during project development with general agreement from your organization.
- Be something that the nonprofit would not otherwise have the resources to accomplish or would allow the nonprofit to put their resources to better use.
- Be something that, upon completion, your organization will take over and manage as required going forward.
- Not be purely fundraising, though the class will raise funds and materials for the project.
To submit your proposed project, please download this application and return via email to bmosier@flintandgenesee.org by or before November 15, 2024.
