GrantW.K. Kellogg Foundation – Community & Family Grants
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is one of the largest philanthropic foundations in the United States, established in 1930 by breakfast-cereal pioneer Will Keith Kellogg. Its core belief is that "all children should have an equal opportunity to thrive," and its grantmaking is built around three interconnected priorities: thriving children (health, safety and school-readiness), working families (economic security and family stability), and equitable communities (racial equity and civic engagement). The foundation funds nonprofit organizations, coalitions, and community-based groups working directly with children and families, especially in historically under-resourced and racially marginalized communities. Rather than a single rigid grant category, W.K. Kellogg funds a range of project types — from direct-service programs to systems-change and policy initiatives — as long as they align with its mission of racial equity and community-driven change. Eligibility: Registered nonprofit organizations (typically 501(c)(3) status) working toward outcomes for children, families, and community equity — preference given to organizations rooted in and led by the communities they serve. How to Apply: Register an account on the foundation's online grant portal, Fluxx. Submit a brief Letter of Inquiry (LOI) outlining your organization and proposed project. If your LOI aligns with current funding priorities, the foundation invites a full proposal. Full proposals are reviewed within approximately 60 days of invitation.
