Grant Targets
The Stich Charitable Foundation (SCF) is a private foundation whose mission is to use targeted grants and strategic advisory to leverage the good works of good people dedicated to non-profit missions that fit in our grant focus.
We wish to use our assets to help ignite the impact of younger, non-profit programs into flames of success, particularly those of dynamic organizations, with optimistic, altruistic, and productive leaders. Our grant-making targets are intentionally flexible, however, we prioritize non-profit missions that positively re-socialize children, adults and families to become good people, contributing citizens, and successful adults and parents that are personally happy.
Re-Socialization of Children, Adults and Families Grants
We believe that there is no greater leverage of charitable giving than funding missions that change people for the better in profound ways which ultimately positively and permanently changes society. Proper socialization of children, adults, and families involves adopting a healthy relationship with self that is kind and in emotional balance, supportive of others, and contributory to society.
Human Health Innovation Grants
We provide grants to innovative non-profit organizations, outside the sphere of mainstream medicine, that offer unique, potentially high-outcome initiatives in human health. These initiatives may be as varied as promoting clean eating or non-toxic pesticides, to investigating a promising non-mainstream treatment, nutritional supplement, or an educational program to build healthy habits.
Animal Well-Being Grants
Our grants in Animal Health are purposeful and focused on organizations in need that have a profound love of animals, and ensure their health and respect as God's creatures. We are especially interested in stopping human cruelty, exploitation, and destruction of animals, and to ensure their well-being in their natural habitats.
Educational Solutions Grants
We believe that using a broad definition of education, it can ultimately solve all problems. We prefer to fund educational programs that show a direct benefit and measurable outcome on the educational topic. Of special interest are programs that provide improved family socialization, mentorship to young adults, practical life-issue education, self-improvement and certificate programs.
