(AP) — The General Motors Foundation has given eight Kansas City area community organizations a total of $100,000 in grants.

Management and union leaders announced the grants during an event at GM’s Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas City, Kan. The recipients are located in Kansas and Missouri.

The donations will go to the American Cancer Society; Blue River Watershed; Communities in Schools, Kansas; Harvesters Community Food Bank; Kansas City, Kansas School Foundation for Excellence; Heart of America Stand Down; Make-A-Wish Foundation, Kansas; and United Way.

The foundation says it’s providing about $1.6 million in funding this year to about 200 organizations in 45 cities where GM operates plants and employees live and work.
