Greater Flint Youth Development Organization (GFYD) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving Flint-area youth the tools, guidance, and opportunities they need to succeed in life both on and off the field. We combine sports, mentorship, and academic support to help students build discipline, confidence, and a sense of purpose. Contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Your contribution directly supports programs that:
Provide structured mentorship from experienced coaches, educators, and community leaders
Offer academic enrichment through our “Get Ahead & Stay Ahead” initiative
Create safe, supportive environments for at-risk youth
Preserve and celebrate the rich history, legacy, and traditions of Flint’s schools and athletics
While Flint is home to many youth programs, there are still too many students without access to quality mentorship and integrated educational opportunities. Many existing programs reach only a fraction of our neighborhoods. GFYD fills that gap, focusing on the whole student, blending academics with athletics to create well-rounded leaders.
By donating, you are helping us:
Expand our reach and serve more communities
Offer additional resources to youth in need
Ensure no child is left without the support they deserve
Join us in building brighter futures. Every gift, large or small, makes an immediate impact. Whether you give once or become a monthly supporter, your generosity fuels the growth, leadership, and success of Flint’s youth. Donate today and be part of a legacy of empowerment.
