The Charles J. Strosacker Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Charles J. Strosacker Foundation is a US private foundation based in Midland, MI, that gives priority to Michigan.
- It funds political subdivisions of Michigan and religious, charitable, benevolent, scientific and educational organisations, describing itself as small in design and primarily local in nature.
- Applications are made by submitting a new grant application ahead of one of two fixed deadlines, before April 1 or October 1, rather than through personal meetings, as trustees do not hold personal interviews with applicants unless the Foundation itself takes the initiative.
- Individuals are not funded, so only eligible organisations should apply.
- Given that no grant range is stated, grant writers should prepare a clear written application rather than expect to pitch a specific sum in person, and plan around the two annual deadlines.
