Strategic Grantmaking (Responsive Grant Program)

The Stryker Johnston Foundation funds nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions whose work addresses systems and root causes of intergenerational poverty in Kalamazoo County, MI. Funding types include general operating support, multi-year grants, project/program support, collaborations/collective action, capacity building, and limited capital support. The foundation uses a proactive, relationship-driven process: prospective organizations submit inquiries, the Grant Program Team engages to determine alignment, and aligned organizations are invited to submit a strategic application via the foundation's grant platform (Fluxx).
