Since its inception, overall financial support of the Education Foundation has been provided by the AG Bishop Trust, for which the entire organization and all of its beneficiaries are deeply grateful. The Stella and Frederick S. Loeb Charitable Trust has also provided funding for the literacy efforts of the Education Foundation.
The Education Foundation established a fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, as a result of a significant gift from the Ben F. Bryer Foundation, which will benefit students and educators for years to come. Ben F. Bryer was a graduate of Flint Central High School, class of 1930.
