The Strategy Grants program supports projects that are explicitly aligned with the foundation's core mission areas: fostering thriving youth and families, promoting racial equity, building a just economy, and ensuring healthy ecosystems. This program serves as a key mechanism for the foundation's strategic priorities, investing in initiatives that directly address these four interconnected goals. The overarching theory of change suggests that by supporting projects across these critical areas, the foundation can contribute to holistic and systemic improvements in the communities it serves.

Eligible projects are broadly categorized, allowing for flexible funding that supports an organization's overall stability and effectiveness. Grant types offered include general operating support, capital support for infrastructure, capacity building to enhance organizational strength, and programmatic support for specific initiatives. The financial scale of this support typically ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 per grant, indicating an investment strategy focused on boosting the capabilities and reach of organizations operating in the designated four-county area.
