Grantseekers - W. K. Kellogg Foundation Thank you for your interest in partnering with the W.

K. Kellogg Foundation Do you envision a world where every child and family sees the road to success? Where a community’s future is determined by the people who live there?

All kids receive nurturing early care and education. Health care for mothers, birthing people and babies is readily available where they live. Good food is a given, along with support for the people who grow it.

Parents and caregivers land career pathways that sustain their family. And where everyone can heal from the harms of racism and contribute to a more equitable world. That’s the world we want to see, too!

If you work every day to make that world a reality – advancing innovative, community-driven solutions – we want to hear about it. Across the United States, with generational commitments in Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans. We also fund in Chiapas and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and in central and southwest Haiti.

We are unable to make grants for individuals, capital investments, political parties or candidates. We are honored to support an array of organizations creating a world where children, families and communities can thrive.
