The WKKF Grant

The WKKF Grant is a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation that funds organizations working to create a healthy, equitable world where all children and families can thrive.

The Foundation prioritizes work advancing early childhood care and education, expanding maternal and infant health access, promoting food security, and supporting economic pathways for parents and caregivers, with strong emphasis on healing the harms of racism and advancing racial equity.

Eligible organizations operate primarily in the United States, with generational commitments to Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, and New Orleans, and internationally in Mexico and Haiti. The Foundation does not fund individuals, capital projects, or political campaigns. Award amounts vary by project scope with typical grants ranging from $100,000 to over $1,000,000.

Organizations should submit formal online proposals through the WKKF grantseeker portal.
