KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Wednesday, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation (KZCF) announced that it has awarded $1.85 million in grants to 50 nonprofit programs throughout Kalamazoo County in the final grantmaking of 2020.
Officials say all programs supported align with the Community Foundation’s investment priorities of equity and education. Additionally, many local nonprofits not listed receive grants and distributions from Donor Advised Funds and Designated Funds held at KZCF.
“In this second round of 2020 grantmaking we received several requests for higher amounts than usual,” Senior Community Investment Officer at KZCF Sandy Barry-Loken said in a statement. “We believe this is a result of our partners leaning into advocacy work and expanding their efforts to make an impact at a systems level.”
