Company Profile

Company Overview

The Stranahan Foundation was created in 1944 by brothers Frank D. and Robert A. Stranahan, founders of the Champion Spark Plug Company in Toledo, Ohio. Today, the Foundation continues as a family-governed Foundation, with a Board of Trustees comprised primarily of family members who are descendants of Frank and Robert. The Board also includes some non-family members whose expertise is especially beneficial to our work. A strong team of professional and administrative staff support the Board in advancing the Foundation’s philanthropic mission.
