Systems Change Grant

*If you believe you qualify, please contact

Dana Ashlock at dashlock@jacksoncf.org to schedule an appointment.

WHAT:  In this grant round, the Jackson Community Foundation will support coalitions of organizations actively and authentically collaborating with Jackson County’s most economically challenged communities and neighborhoods and working together to find solutions to our most persistent and complex problems. We are looking to support systems change efforts that align with one or more of our “Grantmaking Aims”:

 

  • We Are Healthy

  • We Reach Our Full Potential

  • We Live in a Socially Just Community

  • We Are Safe

  • Our Basic Needs Are Met

 

ELIGIBILITY:  To apply, you must be a coalition of organizations working to improve the quality of life for the residents of Jackson County, Michigan.  We recommend a coalition of at least three different organizations.  At least one of the organizations must have its 501(c)3 nonprofit status. 

 

GRANT AMOUNT:  Up to $20,000

 

DEADLINE:  Not currently accepting applications. Check back in 2025.  

 

PROCESS:  If you believe you qualify, the first step is to meet with JCF staff.  The meeting provides an opportunity for you to outline the proposed idea and for JCF to determine if it is a “fit” for this grant type.  If it is a “fit,” then the link to the grant application will be made available.  To schedule a meeting, contact Program Director, Dana Ashlock, at dashlock@jacksoncf.org.
