A New Chapter in Our Grantmaking
With a commitment to long-term partnership and a focus on impact, Barancik Foundation is transitioning our grant funding to multiyear, general operating support. These grants will empower our partners with stability, flexibility, and trust.
This evolution in our approach builds on more than 10 years of mission-driven grantmaking and collaborative relationships with grantees. It’s also rooted in listening to our nonprofit partners and seeking to learn alongside them. Through longer-term funding and shared goals for impact, we aim to be even better partners in making the meaningful difference Chuck and Margie Barancik wanted for our community.
