About Rs Young Foundation
The RS Young Foundation concentrates its modest giving on local Flint-area human services with an emphasis on faith-based community organizations and programs for children. Grants repeatedly support a small set of community charities that provide youth programming, family stabilization and basic-needs relief, plus a national child illness camp. The foundation favors hands-on, local impact over broad geographic reach.

Giving Approach
Concentrated, local giving with a small number of mid-sized grants; several repeat grants to the same organizations rather than one-off, widely distributed awards.
About Rs Young Foundation
One of the clearest patterns in Rs Young Foundation’s giving is repeated support for Flint-area human services organizations that serve children, families, and basic-needs programs. In 2023 and 2024, the foundation backed a small circle of local charities and community groups, with grants to Carriage Town Ministries, Old Newsboys of Flint, Fenton Center of Hope, and Prism Project. Camp Quality USA also appears among its larger awards, showing that the foundation will support children’s camp programming alongside neighborhood-based relief work. The grants are structured as unrestricted community support or general charitable giving, which fits a legacy-oriented approach rather than a project-by-project program model. The foundation’s recent awards suggest a preference for organizations that already operate close to the people they serve: food and pantry services, family support, youth services, and faith-based community ministries. Its recurring support for some recipients across more than one year points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time transactions. The overall picture is a foundation that keeps its giving local, concentrated, and practical, with most awards staying within Michigan and many landing in Flint itself.
What Rs Young Foundation Funds
Youth services are a visible part of Rs Young Foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $25,000 to Camp Quality USA for support of charity, and also supported youth-centered local charities such as Old Newsboys of Flint with $20,000 in 2023 and $12,000 in 2024. Basic-needs and family support also appear consistently. The foundation awarded $25,000 to Carriage Town Ministries for support of charity, then made additional grants of $5,000 in 2023 and $2,000 in 2024 to the same Flint organization. Community relief organizations show up as well. Fenton Center of Hope received $10,000 for support of charity, and Prism Project in Linden received $5,000. Across these grants, the foundation favors local nonprofits that serve children, families, and neighborhood-level needs.
How Rs Young Foundation Gives
Rs Young Foundation’s typical grant sizes cluster at a modest local scale: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $7,500, and the 75th percentile is $18,000. The recent record shows both larger anchor gifts and smaller follow-on grants, including repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024. That pattern suggests periodic support rather than a single annual cycle tied to a formal competitive program. The foundation gives to nonprofits only, uses unrestricted or general community support, and accepts unsolicited recommendations for community grants.
